I loved this!!!! I didn’t know the plot going in so I was expecting a light hearted italian romance which was NOT what I got but what I got was so much better! The mother-daughter relationship resonated with me so much. This book made me laugh, cry, and more than anything else want to take a trip to Italy!

Ok, so the 2 stars are mainly because I couldn't relate to the book. The whole book is basically her grieving her mother and saying how much she loved her. It was to a point of almost creepy in my opinion. Early in the book Katy say's : "If your mother is the love of your life, what does that make your husband?". That one sentence threw me off for the whole book. It was a quick read, it made me want to be in Italy. If it weren't for Katy basically being in love with her mother, I think I would've liked it more because the twist was interesting.
