A really light, easy, enjoyable read. I love the setting which produced the best atmosphere, the characters that I fell in love with and the story itself. I enjoyed the writing style for the most part, it seemed young and free which fit the tone and pace of the story and although not much depth was given to the main love plot I still found myself smiling like an idiot at the cute moments.

Did not expect to enjoy this so much!! I finished this in one day and couldn‘t put it down which says a lot.
Also made me realise how much I missed reading plot-driven, lighthearted books since I mostly read  more serious books that focus more on character rather than plot. The writing wasn‘t the best and was sometimes borderline cringy but this is YA so it‘s okay. I loved escaping to tuscany for a day and will definitely read the other books in the series!

Such a cute story and the setting in Florence felt wonderful and super vivid. Now, sounds like a good time to teleport there!

Adored every single one of the characters, the slow burn & the pace of the whole story story. 

I also really loved how a little bit of mystery was added to the romance. It made the comedic points so much lighter and hilarious!

And finally, the audiobook narrator did a fantastic job with it, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to her!
