What Happens in Amsterdam by Rachel Lynn Solomon

 💖💖💖💖/5


What Happens in Amsterdam by Rachel Lynn Solomon is an enjoyable, emotional forced proximity, second chance, marriage-of-convenience romcom with strong chemistry, and self-discovery, set against the dreamy backdrop of Amsterdam’s canals with a meet-cute involving a bicycle accident.

 

Thirty-year-old Dani Dorfman desperately needs a fresh start after a messy break up that gets her fired. Having fallen in love with Amsterdam, after hearing the descriptions and the memories she had from the cute exchange student she fell in love with at 17, Dani applies for a job in Amsterdam in hope to escape her current reality. Life in Amsterdam isn’t as smooth as she hopes: her apartment floods, her job is not what she expected, and she’s struggling to adjust. A chance encounter with that exchange student, Wouter van Leeuwen, through a bike accident, changes everything. Wouter offers her his lower-level apartment, which is in far better shape than her dark, damp basement unit.

 

When Dani suddenly loses her job and faces the possibility of being forced to leave Amsterdam, Wouter proposes a mutually beneficial solution; a green card marriage. Wouter needs to fulfill his grandmother’s condition of marriage to inherit the family apartment, and Dani needs the stability of a visa. The arrangement is simple: they’ll pretend to be happily married for a year while keeping the secret from Dani’s parents and appeasing Wouter’s family. One year should give Dani enough time to decide her next steps; whether to find a new job or return home.

As they share an apartment, their chemistry reignites the sparks they once shared; becoming impossible to ignore. Soon pretending to be in love quickly becomes less of an act and more real. When the truth comes out, Dani must decide: can she trust her heart to the same man who reshaped her views on love so many years ago.
