Perfect vacation book. Though I kept wanting to be in Italy. Good exploration of mother daughter relationships and taking time to figure out who you are. Creative idea to have Katy meet her mother when her mother was younger. But geesh their relationship felt codependent. And the ending felt rushed. I could T understand why Katy kept her phone in the safe the whole time. 

That said, if nothing else, now I really want to go to Italy for the food, romance, beauty
