What happens when your five-year anniversary trip to Barcelona turns into a solo European adventure because your girlfriend dumps you right before the flight?

You go anyway.

In this episode of Spill the Book, we sit down with author Ian Ostroff to talk about Barcelona with Love — a story packed with heartbreak, solo travel, questionable hostel accommodations, accidental romance, European adventures, and one very unforgettable British entrepreneur.

We talk about Noah's disastrous breakup, Rachel's questionable life choices, Phoebe's fearless energy, solo travel, Barcelona, Sephardic heritage, food, writing, travel, and what happens when starting over takes you somewhere you never expected to go.

Plus, we get into Ian's writing process, the inspiration behind the characters, his travels, bookish habits, reviews, audiobook dream casting, and plenty of completely unnecessary but very important questions.

If you've ever wanted to run away after a breakup and reinvent your entire life somewhere in Europe, this one is for you.
