If you don't speak any Italian or know any words in Italian, you may want to look some up. That is my only complaint about this book. It was definitely a page turner. I NEEDED to know what was going to happen. It did get me at a few points with a tiny bit of tears. The funniest part about this book is I could hear Anna's dad saying everything in his accent and a lot of it had me laughing.

5 stars

I loved this book. And couldn’t stop reading. I learned some Italian too, there was a bunch throughout. The family intervening was funny and entertaining! I couldn’t help but laugh a few times. A great well descriptive read.

I received my kindle copy via a Goodreads giveaway.

Humorous, mysterious and definitely unpredictable. The only reason I didn’t give this 5 stars is due to the slow start. I found myself getting bored at times, early on in the book. Once the drama picked up, I ate this juicy tale right up!

It's not absolutely bad. this took me until about halfway through to get into it, but once I was, I was in. Italian families, America, a choice of a wife, first love, or mother. so many schemes amongst the two families. some will come crashing, and some may just turn into something else.
