The Summer Everything Changed
When Savannah Bucca, an up-and-coming fashion designer, wins a coveted summer apprenticeship in Rome, at the House Of Capri—one of the most illustrious fashion houses in the world—she can only imagine how greatly it will impact her career. But as excited as she is to hone her craft and gain much-needed experience in the fashion industry, she is just as eager to put some distance between herself and the frustrating romantic complications at home.
She’s known Luca Lalli her entire life. Growing up, they were practically family as their parents emigrated from Italy together as young adults and became the best of friends. As her feelings for him grew, Luca ‘s flirting did too. However, his apparent disinterest and dismissal was infuriating. She just had to accept the fact that he still sees her as nothing more than a little sister.
Savannah’s trip to Italy is not just a chance to step into her future as a fashion designer or reunite her with family still living in the old country—it’s a chance to embrace the freedom and excitement of a summer away from home. And with any luck, a summer fling that will finally push Luca Lalli out of her mind, and her heart, for good.

Even though I am the author of this book, I still wanted to write a review! As a first time author, this story poured out of me. Truly. It was always meant to be written. I won't give you an actual review cause that would be weird but encourage YOU to do so! Much love xo

Savannah was fun and passionate. I loved reading about her trip to Italy and how she's making her dream a reality. The supporting cast of characters were a wonderful bunch of people and I felt like I was on this trip with Savannah. I have been to Italy multiple times and the author did a fantastic job of bringing every single little detail of an Italian day to life.

The Summer Everything Changed - such an appropriate title for not only the book, but for the author as well. Imagine making your dreams come true and all of the joy that it brings. The characters came to life off of the pages and I couldn’t stop reading to find out what would happen to them, the story is just that good and engaging! And then for Sandra, having a dream of becoming an author and doing it, amazing! What more can I say except, get the book, you’ll love it!!

It was such a fun and refreshing love story. I couldn’t put it down, I read it in 1 day!! This story made me want to go back to Italy and fall in love all over again. I can’t wait for a sequel and hopefully a movie.

This book was AMAZING. I usually can’t finish books quickly as I tend to lose interest or get distracted easily but I couldn’t put this book down. I didn’t want to finish it because it was so good and just wanted to continue reading it. This book honestly made me feel like I was in Italy with Savannah and the rest of the characters. I’ve been to Rome when I was younger but it just made me relive my journey and my experience and gave me the urge to go back. This book did have me on the edge of my seat not knowing what Savannah would do ( I won’t give it away you’ll just have to read it) but if you’re looking for a cute and flirty romance novel then I highly recommend this book ❤️
