I found this to be a well written easy read! But I also found it to be a beautiful story about love and many different types of relationships and how sometimes love really can change the outcome! Seeing the sisters connect even though they are so different was beautiful! I really enjoyed reading this book! There were times where I laughed and times were I found tears in my eyes! I will definitely be reading this book again!

What a beautiful story about choice, first love and family.

I loved watching the three sisters Pricilla, Devon and Bailey reconnect throughout their trip. As an only child I love seeing the complexities of sibling relationships.

The duel timelines worked well and I loved seeing the perspective of their mothers youth.

Probst really transports you to Italy with her descriptions of the Amalfi Coast, food and wine.

Overall it’s a tale of love in its many forms, loss and family. Keep the tissues ready.

Thank you to @netgalley @valentine_pr_ and @authorjenniferprobst for my #freegift arc copy in exchange for an honest review.

I now want to:
-go hug my mom
-visit Italy
-kidnap my sister and take her with me
-eat lots of pasta and drink lots of wine.

Picked this book up randomly and loved it. Made me cry a little bit. Lost love, mother bonding, sister bonding, Italy, it has a lot to enjoy.

“Italians highly regard experiences of pleasure. Carbs, sweets, and wine are all important parts of daily life. “

Can I please now go to Positano? I may just move there

A beautifully written women’s fiction story about family, love, loss, commitment and the struggle to make it all work.

The mystery of a mother’s lost love brings 3 sisters together to get through past hurts and figure out what is really important in life. And grow closer while doing it.

Three sisters who recently lost their mother suddenly find mysterious letters from a man with the initial "R" and a deed to a home in Italy. Each decide to take a break from their lives and pursue the truth.

I feel as though this kind of book could be a sub genre of the women's fiction world. The I found something in a dead parent or grand parent belongings and I must go find the truth! AND I love them! I especially love when there are chapters that take the reader back in time to the deceased and you get to see their story through their eyes as their descendants experience it in the book.

After Olivia dies her 3 daughters find a deed to a house in Italy and love letters from a man that is not their father. The sisters have a strained relationship but travel to the house in Italy to try to learn more about their mother's past. What they find is a part of their mother they never knew and parts of themselves. Can they rebuild their relationships?

A story of family and love and dreams.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an arc for my honest review.
