The joyful mysteries of Rosemarie

It’s 1970, and ROSEMARIE DOUCETTE is a control-freaky perfectionist with her whole life planned out. And when her college plans slide off the rails, she tries to push them back on track by enrolling in a study abroad program in France. But when she takes the stairs down the Eiffel Tower on her first day and gets stranded at the American Embassy after her tour bus leaves without her, Rosemarie discovers that her perfectly planned summer is about to become perfectly unpredictable.

Her mishap makes her unexpectedly popular with her study abroad group—and suddenly the girl who’s never been kissed is juggling three very different suitors: a charming New Yorker, a sophisticated Frenchman and a dreamy Englishman. But navigating romance proves more complicated than an itinerary, especially when jealousy threathens her new friendships.
