Wow, it was a story that did not immediately capture my attention what with a heroine skipping around beautiful Italy and just going with the flow of life. However, as I did love the author's previous title, I soldiered on and it paid off. Libby's story matured throughout and by the end of it, it was beautiful and full of life with all its good, bad, ugly parts weaved together wonderfully by the author.

Georgie Capron's friendly writing style meant I got into this story very quickly. I loved the descriptions of Italy - the places Libby visited were brought alive for me. I also really warmed to the main character, Libby. Libby is someone who I think people can relate to, 30 something, relationships never working out, drifting from one job to another, never able to settle down. Something life-changing happens to her whilst she's working abroad, and we see how she copes with it.

This is a nice story - possibly a bit too nice. There aren't many points of conflict, and the main one seems to be glossed over a bit too quickly. Perhaps we could have had some more thoughts and feelings from Libby at this time - some more angst. And other plot points seem to be resolved all too easily. I guessed what was going to happen romance-wise quite early on, so that was predictable. Occasionally I noticed Capron seems to list what happens, rather than bringing it alive - a case of more telling rather than showing, but there's not too much of that. I would have liked to have found out more about Libby's sister, Helen.

Overall this is a lovely story, perfect as a summer read.

Thank you Netgalley, Publisher and Georgie Capron. This is a very sweet read perfect for sunny days on the beach. The characters are lovely and it will leave you with a big smile on your face
