I am a sucker for dysfunctional families. And siblings Beck, Ashley, and Jake have plenty of dysfunction to go around, at least partially seeded by their flaky mother Deborah. When Deborah’s mother Helen dies, her will seems pretty straightforward: house to Deborah, and everything else to be divided equally among the grandchildren... except for a brooch, which goes to Beck. But the brooch, which Beck originally takes for garish costume jewelry, is anything but: it holds a 137-carat yellow diamond, the Florentine Diamond, which hasn’t been seen since the Habsburg Monarchy collapsed. Helen was never forthcoming with Deborah or her grandchildren about her past, and now, with claims against the diamond from both the Austrian government and the Italian government, the dysfunctional Miller family is going to have to work together if they have any hope of making peace with Helen’s shadowy past and their own heritage.
In turns humorous and wrenching and wise, this novel has a lot of heart.

Loved the whole idea behind this book. Incredibly well researched and thought out by Amy Meyerson.

Awe…. what a cute novel of mystery, history, family, and redemption. I enjoyed seeing the POV of each Miller child and their mom Deborah, but I do wish their parts were more separated. I’m disappointed it didn’t resolve perfectly but hey, that’s life I guess!
A nice family drama with a little mystery thrown in. It didn't knock my socks off, but I enjoyed it. The 2nd half in particular moved a little faster and kept me engaged.
I will be honest I liked Amy Meyerson’s other books way better! This wasn’t a terrible book I did enjoy it but it just took me a while to get through it. I am not dissatisfied that I read it but it definitely wasn’t one of those books you think about when you can’t be reading it that moment. It was interesting that’s what kept me coming back good but definitely not a favorite
