BOOK REVIEW! Spoiler: we didn’t love this one🙈 ☀️One Italian Summer☀️ 2/5 stars One Italian Summer follows Katy as she deals with the death of her mother. She ends up going solo on what was supposed to be a mother-daughter trip to Positano, Italy, to try and heal and uncover what her mother once loved so much about the coastal town. On her trip, Katy learns more about herself and her mother than she bargained for and ends up discovering some difficult truths about them both that she can no longer ignore. I so badly wanted to love this book! The sea, pasta, romance…it was all going in the right direction until all of a sudden it wasn’t. Katy’s character was difficult to relate to and I couldn’t help but judge her actions and decision making the whole way through. I kept wanting that “heartwarming” feeling, but I was consistently let down. Serle does hit the mark with the twists and turns she incorporates into the story, but it wasn’t enough to keep me hooked. I also wasn’t fully immersed in the storyline - I felt like I had one foot in Katy’s world and the other was out. Don’t take my word for it on this one because I’ve seen a ton of very positive reviews, maybe it just wasn’t for me 🤷🏼‍♀️ This one doesn’t come out until March 1st so you have a bit of time to decide if you’ll get it. Are you planing on picking this one up? If you are it comes out March 1st!
