Overall, I enjoyed this one, but it was annoying at times. Did Jess need to refer her Ex by his first & last name EVERY TIME? Maybe that's a New Jersey quirk. I wish she had gone to Italy sooner in the story line.

DID NOT FINISH: 49%
No storyline. Felt like I was reading a diary, not a novel. Nothing compelling and the characters did not feel believable.

Great character development. Love the mix between Italian Americans and Italy. Beautiful story about family and how that affects us all
