Wholesome, beautiful and heartwarming. As a fellow lover of Italy (despite the Italian bureaucracy) it was picturing an Italian small town very well.

Would have loved to read this book in first person perspective since it’s written from both Jules and Alex’s point of view.

Will recommend!

Jules and Alex overcoming their past hurt was soooo heart warming !!
I cant say except I love arco like I even own a dog which i don’t lol
Attila is cute with her fluffy tail !!

Alex and Jules

Such a sweet story.

Jules is from Australia but a few years ago she followed her heart and moved to Italy. Well, that was a huge mistake. She is now broken up with him but has still been living with him for a year. She has to go. She can’t stand another minute there. So, she packs everything she can up, and off she goes..her dog following her. With her bank account low, she has few options. Even fewer with a dog. She’s in luck, a farm across Italy has a job available for housing. Perfect. Onward she goes. Once arrived, she meets Alex. He’s playing the accordion outside and she’s intrigued. Maybe this move won’t be so bad.

Alex has had a very difficult past few years. Life has not gone his way and now his life is just a monotonous loop. His family is worried, as he never smiles. Alex doesn’t know how to move forward. As he’s playing one evening, Jules approaches…and he smiles.

Such a beautiful story. Your heart goes out to Alex and you instantly want the best for him. Definitely a story of growth, family, and love.

Lo último que quiere Jules es enamorse, su última relación la hizo mudarse a Italia, poner un negocio con su ex para que al final lo perdiera todo. Entonces cuando conoce a Alex decide que lo suyo será una aventura,

Alex no piensa y no quiere volver a amar, no tiene novias o citas, pero conoce a Jules y lo hace dudar.

Me gustó la ambientación, la forma en que todo el pueblo formó su propia familia, las escenas del aceite de oliva y las castañas fueron tan detalladas que me imagine su sabor, la perseverancia y tenacidad de Jules.



Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Great book. Interesting characters. The plot captured my attention on page 1 and I could not put it down. I would Read another book by this author.

I am a sucker for a book set in Italy! The culture, descriptions, atmosphere. Love! While similar to another recent read of mine, I still really enjoyed this one! Thank you NetGalley for the arc!
