You can’t help but adore the characters Sarah writes and When in Rome is no different (except you Susan!!! If you’ve read this book, you know exactly why I say that). I loved Amelia and Noah together- their banter, their secret glances, their slight jealousy and protectiveness of one another. I adored all the other relationships that came with the story too - Noah and his sisters, James and Noah, Amelia and Noah’s sisters too! Not to mention how amazing the community of Rome was!

I really related to this story in terms of Amelia’s self doubts, mental and physical exhaustion as well as Noah’s reluctance to open up to people and love again. I’m so proud of them both for their journey as a couple and as individuals.

The story is such a heartwarming, beautiful romance, but packs a punch of emotional scenes and quotes too. The romance had me smiling from ear to ear and Noah is just the perfect gentleman! When in Rome had me both laughing and crying (yes, I even cried at the dedication because I miss my nan too) and I hated the thought of finishing it.
