I mean, it was ok? I liked it enough to finish it. It is so very instalove but I did enjoy seeing them fall for each other as they toured across Rome. Who hasn't even fantasized about meeting someone on holiday and having a whirlwind romance? It was also very stereotypical but I enjoyed the boisterous Italian family scene with Callum's roomie's family! Lots of food, dancing, drinking, love—what's not to like, right? There were cute moments to be had!
Sadly, I found the holes in the story kept taking me out of it and it was difficult to believe that nobody recognised Ilaria and that she managed to so easily evade the paparazzi that's always out to get her! I also can't believe something so short had a third act... I'm also not a fan of authors writing accents and I'm sorry but I found the narration of this audiobook particularly cringe!
