Franjessca’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Our Italian Summer (Meet Me in Italy, #1)

Our Italian Summer (Meet Me in Italy, #1) by Jennifer Probst

5 highlights

“When we read a story, we inhabit it. The covers of the book are like a roof and four walls. What is to happen next will take place within the four walls of the story. And this is possible because the story's voice makes everything its own.”
