However, her first day of high school has arrived, a terrifying milestone because now she has the chance to interact with the equally scary upperclassmen.
Her and her best friend Bria are determined to find boyfriends as they navigate this new school year as brand new freshmen, but they also have to consider that this could be their last year in Italy due to the fact that many military families don't have the privilege of graduating from the high school they start at. Many times, three years is the allotted time military brats have with each other before its time to pack up and make new friends again.

Awesome Read!
I know for a fact what living in Italy is like and especially living in Napoli (Naples).
Reading this book was nostalgic and it felt like I was back there enjoying the food, fun
and journeys around Europe! I. Miss it sooo much and the author let's you tag
along on the journey of a lifetime with her, I would definitely recommend this book
to everyone, and I mean everyone!

Even though I didn't have the highschool, dating, or military family experience, I found this super cute. I read it like a coming of age, feel good fresh out of high school films or TV shows. There not very popular, but we've all seen and usually love at least one of them. That's this book.

MY GIRL, MY GIRL, MY GIRL!!
Nicole literally has the heart of a saint and it shows in her writing. She sent me a copy of the book sometime last year and when I finally got around to it - I was kicking myself for not reading it sooner.
