The story builds slowly and nicely at a pace that makes you want to keep reading not put the book down. I loved the detail about Little Italy, the foods and wines, the geography of living of in New York, and the family dynamics. These characters feel like real people that could actually exist and fall in love. A perfect rom-com to read between Thanksgiving and the first week of January. I loved it!
