One summer in Italy might just change everything...

Marci James loves her job so much she's not had a holiday in 5 years. But after receiving a mysterious letter from her godfather, Richard, Marci must pack up for a summer on the Italian Coast. Tasked with sorting through Richard's antiques shop, Marci is determined to find the right balance of work and pleasure.

But when Marci arrives it's apparent that the task is far more daunting than she imagined, and it isn't long before Nico, her gorgeous local guide, offers to step up and lend a hand. As the two enjoy the Positano summer, and all that the Amalfi Coast has to offer, Marci finally lets herself relax and the sparks between the pair soon begin to fly.

But Richard hasn't just left his possessions behind, he left a secret, one that Marci unwittingly stumbles across. Will it break her heart after the happiest summer of her entire life?

Perfect for fans of Karen Swan, Rosanna Ley and Sarah Morgan.

I felt transported to a world of antiques, and gorgeous Italian scenery as Positano was brought to life exquisitely in this new Lucy Coleman novel. 

I really enjoyed the feeling of being welcomed into a big Italian family, that has so many strands to it, it can be daunting at first to keep up. 

But Marci is in Positano to do a job, even if her godfather is proving hard to get hold of, not to mention her own growing friendship with Nico. 

I really enjoyed seeing how this story developed, in some surprising ways, while the descriptions of Italian food were plentiful and tantalisingly tasty. 

This felt like a real love letter to the town of Positano, which I've personally only visited briefly but it all seemed to match up with my memories of the town. 

A rather enjoyable book that I am delighted I had the chance to read. 

Thank you to Embla Books and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
