At first I had a hard time keeping all the characters straight. But once Ugo brought them to the Agriturismo it was much easier! This book was a delight to read! It was so easy to fall in love with all the characters! By the end they truly felt like friends. I am so looking forward to May Flowers at the Three Coins Inn and hope to see some familiar faces! I definitely recommend this book!

Easter At The Three Coins Inn by Kimberly Sullivan is book two in the Three Coins series, and though I would love to go back to book one to get more of the context with the friends who started it all, I wasn’t lost. It would be easy for someone to come into this like me not having read book one and get along just fine. I loved that the setting was in Todi, Italy (a real place!) and the author’s breathtaking descriptions made me want to visit immediately. I really enjoyed the eclectic mix of characters though I didn’t always love some (cough, Madison, cough), and I will be fine if I never hear certain terms (like cuckold husband) ever again. There was a little repetition, but I just mostly skipped over those parts, and it wasn’t a huge deal.

I did love how the various characters grew throughout the story though, and once Madison finally started to come out of her shell, her viewpoint got a lot more tolerable. The food descriptions are absolutely mouthwatering, and since Italian is one of my favorite cuisines, I was constantly hungry while reading this. The way certain people came together was very endearing as well, and I liked the focus on the friendships the most. I do think the book didn’t have to be quite so long and I would have loved if it had been a bit more concise and maybe without SO many viewpoints. All in all, this is not a bad book at all and I think a lot of readers will enjoy it!

Read this if you enjoy reading books set in gorgeous areas with equally as gorgeous foods, interesting mixes of characters and personalities, and easy reads that still bring plenty of feels.

I enjoyed Kimberly Sullivan's "Easter at the Three Coins Inn", even though I read it as a stand-alone. I liked the setting of the book in an Inn in rural Italy and its proprietors and their guests. The book's many POV's all with a focus on change & renewal was different and refreshing, there might have been one that I didn't care for, but overall, this was a great plot device & I liked it quite a bit. Will read this author again! My thanks to Net Galley & the publisher for the advance readers copy - my pleasure to review it!

This is a unique lovely novel about people brought together from all over with their own various stories. They’ve all ended up at Three.Coins Inn with things they’re dealing with & escaping. Yet, they forge friendships through their commonalities & the circumstances that have brought them to the same place at the most unexpected & needed time. They merge so well with the permanent residents into a book filled with enjoyable characters & new beginnings.

Thank you, Kimberly Sullivan, Kate Rock, & Netgalley for my gifted early copy All opinions are my own.

Three friends are bonded together after tossing coins into the Trevi Fountain years earlier. When Emma decides to open an inn in the Italian countryside, Annarita and her husband run the inn’s cooking classes. I enjoyed learning about each of the characters who visited the inn and why. You will want to pack your bags and head to Italy to escape the gray winter months and make friends with these lovely characters. I look forward to going back to read her first book in the series, Three Coins.

Easter At The Three Coins Inn by Kimberly Sullivan is a fabulous escape- to a beautiful village inn, spa treatments and first class culinary experiences. I truly felt like I was vacationing in Umbria and exploring the sights with the visitors of The Three Coins Inn. Each character has an intriguing storyline of their varying grievances that brought them to Umbria. This story is a tale of friends and family and the various ways love presents itself.

Easter at the Three Coins Inn by Kimberly Sullivan.
I did like the cover and blurb of this book. I really did enjoy this book. I did like the setting. It felt like I was there watching everything. I liked the different characters. They each had their own chapter. It was different. I read this in two sittings. I couldn't put it down. Everything went well together. The characters. The setting. I liked the ending. I would recommend this book.

Friendship. Love. Loss. New beginnings.
Find it all at The Three Coins Inn.

It's been four years since Emma, Annarita and Tiffany threw their coins in Rome's Trevi Fountain and cemented a friendship that would change their lives, in more ways than one. Emma has departed Rome for the charming Umbrian village of Todi, where she's busy managing the Three Coins Inn, while Annarita and her husband run the hotel's cooking classes.

A new set of hotel guests descend on the idyllic property, eager to recharge and leave their problems far behind. The last thing ambitious television reporter Madison wants is a two-week respite in sleepy Umbria, but when things fall apart, she may not have a choice in the matter. Heike is mourning her husband's death, and hopes a change in scenery in a country they once both loved will hasten the healing. Chris' surprise holiday for his wife isn't shaping up at all the way he imagined it. And grandmother Grace is enlisted to whisk her granddaughter away from a marriage in crisis.

Will the charm and atmosphere of The Three Coins Inn work its magic on its guests?

This is a beautiful book about grieving, loss, heartache, and friendship. The book will give you all the feels as we delve into the lives of a disparate group of strangers each going through their own problems in life. The author does a great job telling the story through multiple POVs. The Italian back drop was perfect for the stories. The book is emotional, but hopeful, and is the perfect book to read while snuggled before the fireplace.

This was such a wonderful book to sink into on a cold December day. From the moment I started reading, I was immediately pulled into the story. Each chapter is told from a different person’s point of view – a group of tourists – each needing to get away from some big bumps in life’s road.

First, readers get a clear picture of each of the characters and their situation. The different points of view don’t feel disjointed at all – while they are each very different, the writing moves through the stories seamlessly, and I eagerly turned the pages.

Each of these tourists then descend upon the Three Coins Inn. The descriptions of the Umbrian village of Todi made me want to buy a ticket right now to Italy. Since that isn’t in the cards, the vivid writing was the second best way to travel.

This story felt almost magical and handles the themes of friendship, love, and loss beautifully. Such an enjoyable read – the perfect escape!

I felt like I was being welcomed by Emma and Mark along with the other guests. It was nice to “get to know” the characters through their actions, and interactions with one another. I never felt that the characterization was forced.
The descriptions of Todi and the surrounding villages had me researching the area. It seems beautiful. Although I may have to side with Grace and Heike that the hills would be a bit much for me.
Unfortunately I did not warm up to all the characters. I know that Madison tried to redeem herself, and was headed in the right direction. However, I could not let go of her treatment of the others in the beginning. Sorry Madison!

Easter at the Three Coins Inn

Publication Date: December 6, 2024

📚MY RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨
(Rounded Up To 5⭐)

📚MY REVIEW:

After finishing Easter at the Three Coins Inn, there's only one thing to say: please reserve my two-week holiday at the Three Coins Inn in Umbria, Italy. [Swoon] What an enjoyably loveable read this was!!

The magic of the idyllic setting for this story leapt off the book's pages and made it SUCH an easy read in which to become completely lost. I loved every single thing about this book - its characters, its locale, and definitely its messages of hope, healing, and the importance of pivoting after life's unexpected plot twists.

This read really pulled me into its storylines and had me wishing I could jump into the pages myself and enjoy a holiday at this cozy inn, where life's problems fade into the background as new friendships and new experiences fill your days from sun up to sun down.

The whole story felt like that cozy feeling of being wrapped in the softest and warmest blanket in the house, sitting in front of a crackling fire, and drinking a giant mug of hot cocoa...with extra marshmallows. Everything about the book felt just right. All of the characters connected to one another in ways that felt genuine, and the Three Coins Inn seemed to offer just what every guest needed at the exact perfect time. This wasn't a fast read for me, but I never felt bored while reading....in fact, as the end of the book neared, I found myself feeling a little sad about saying goodbye to this story and the characters who all felt like new friends to me.

This book is the second in a series, but it can definitely be read as a standalone. Though I have to go back now and read the first book so I can try and re-capture the cozy vibe of this story! I loved the message of the book and the way it so subtly shared the stories of each character's healing as the story went on and the friendships between the characters deepened. This was really a sweet, sweet read that will fill your heart. If you're in the mood for a feel-good and overall light-hearted read, with a powerful message about life's second act and the power of being open to new beginnings, Easter at the Three Coins Inn absolutely belongs on your TBR list.

Thank you so much to Kate Rock Book Tours, NetGalley, and Kimberly Sullivan herself for the e-book and the invitation to be a part of this book tour in exchange for my honest review.

Find it all at The Three Coins Inn.

This was the perfect story for a cold winter day. Prepare to feel like you are in Italy at a beautiful family run inn!

Welcome back to the Three Coins Inn. New guests are arriving but are checking in under less than perfect circumstances.

I really enjoyed this story - it is a book about friendships and life’s ups and downs. We really get to know the characters and you will feel like you are on a journey with them! Each one may have been dealing with something different, but they had more in common than you might think. I love it when characters find friendship and support and love in unexpected places.

I also loved how the author described the Inn and surrounding area - it really made me want to pack up and head to Umbria for a few weeks!

I’ve always wanted to visit Italy and this book made me want to visit even more. It sounds so serene and beautiful! Three Coins Inn is exactly the place I want to stay. It’s a small family run inn that has a spa, gives cooking classes, takes guests on trips, and is a cozy place to gather for family style dinners. There are a few main characters in the book and non of them are taking the trip they planned. A man is going on a trip he planned for him and his wife. A grandmother and granddaughter are on a trip meant for the granddaughter’s parents. The characters mess together so well and reading their POV is intriguing. When I read this book I’m transported to Italy. It is a great read about friendship, relationships, and understanding what is important in life.

Reading this felt like a warm hug for the heart. The small Italian village setting immediately transported me and I wanted to book a stay at the Inn. This is the second book in the series but it can be read as a standalone. It is a story about life and figuring out what is next after your life falls apart. Chris, Madison, Grace, and Heike arrive at the Inn struggling with loss. They expect a few weeks in Italy but find friendship, support, and a new start.
I highly recommend this book to readers that enjoy books with an Italian setting, friendship, found family, and finding new dreams.

I really enjoyed this book, set at a luxurious inn in the beautiful Italian countryside. I love the region of Umbria and the author's descriptions brought this area alive. I did not read the first book in this series, but will go back and read it to discover the origins of this story. I liked the cast of characters--except for one guest--and the ways in which they were changed by their experiences in Italy and the friendships they developed. I didn't feel that one character developed at all and that kind of dragged down the plot. Overall, this is a fun story, and readers who want to travel to Umbria will get to indulge that urge through this book. Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the opportunity to review this book.

Strangers meet & click near medieval Umbrian town🍝

I liked the story, with all its intersecting mini plots for each of the guests at the Three Coins agriturismo Inn at the foot of the ramparts of Todi, a historic Umbrian hill town in an Italian region full of picturesque old towns, great cuisine, and history. Just five guests, arriving from the UK, Austria and the U.S., each with a different problem in his or her life that is, for the most part, left on the shelf while they enjoy new found friends, great local cuisine, some romance and a new perspective on where they want their futures to head. Heike and Grace, maybe because they were more in my age bracket, were my favorite characters but the only one who rubbed me the wrong way for a while was American journalist Madison (but I believe the author fully intended this). And the story is replete with HEAs, or, at least, HFNs, for all, and quite inspirational.

I read the preceding novel, Three Coins, several years ago and I believe I liked it better. This one reminded me a bit of the standard format for a Shari Low (whose works I really love) novel, opening by providing separate chapters introducing each main character in his or her home environment. But I felt it was somewhat confusing, mostly because of the number of characters, principal and minor (hardly mentioned again), included in their intro chapters. Except for Chris, their stories did not click with me until they arrived in Todi. The format of switching from one main character's thoughts and perspective to the next continues throughout the novel and worked for me once I felt I knew Grace, Kathryn, Chris, Madison and Heike.

Though I read and enjoyed Three Coins, I felt I would have liked this one better if it had been written more as a standalone, without referencing Tiffany, for example, who has nothing to do with the principal characters here.

I thought bringing in some sightseeing in Gubbio, Todi, Orvieto, etc. added to the atmosphere, but it was not overdone and allowed the personal dramas to shine. The food and cooking class element, again, added but did not take over the story.

Thanks to author Kimberly Sullivan and NetGalley for sharing a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest opinion.

I received a free copy of, Easter At The Three Coins Inn, by Kimberly Sullivan, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Emma lives in Todi, in Umbria in Italy. Years ago she and a couple friends threw coins in to the Trevi fountain. Now Emma is running The Three Coins Inn, with her friends. This was a nice read, every chapter told from a different person.

If imagining being a guest at The Three Coins Inn in springtime Umbria isn’t a tonic for grey autumn days, I don’t know what is!

Sullivan is a gifted writer with a knack for entwining the lives (and loves) of disparate characters visiting the inn for reasons Characters we grew to know in the first book, Emma and Annarita, play host to a cast ranging from a young woman escaping a career-ending disaster, a man finding new possibilities after a spouse’s betrayal, a grandmother’s heartfelt vacation with her granddaughter, and a widow’s brave venture to a place she should have visited with her husband.

I loved vicariously living the ex-pat life while reading Three Coins in the Fountain, Kimberly Sullivan’s first novel in the Three Coins series, and Easter at the Three Coins Inn is a delightful addition. I’m now anxiously awaiting the next escape to Umbria and the Three Coins Inn. Well done, Kimberly!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this amazing book!

"Easter at the Three Coins Inn" by Kimberly Sullivan is so inspirational and uplifting. The book is set at a fictional inn in Todi, Italy in near present time. This women's fiction book with romance follows two of the main characters of the the original "Three Coins Inn" published in 2021, while introducing the reader to a new set of adorable characters. I'm not sure how, but Kimberly is a master of weaving many storylines together into a charming tale about friendship and the ability to overcome hardships. She kept me reading to find out what each one was dealing with. I couldn't wait to pull for them through the book. Kimberly also has a delicate and lyrical style which puts the reader right in her settings. I love Italy and I've never been, partially because of reading her books. I always walk away from them learning about the Italian setting and marking it down on my TBR list of destinations. I give "Easter at the Three Coins Inn" Five Big-Hearted Stars. You will love Grace, Heike, Chris, Madison, and Kathryn from the first page to the last.

A delightful trip to Umbria. Sometimes we carry our heaviest baggage in our hearts, and Sullivan's delightful characters unpack their bags and heal in the warmth of Umbria's sunshine. Brava!
