About:
Three sisters, a stash of family recipes, the chance to make their dreams come true…
Amanda is about to open her very own café. She has the pastry sorted, but hasn’t a clue about the plumbing. With the love of her life by her side, surely nothing else can go wrong?
Sabrina has struck out on her own and is proving to the global music industry she has what it takes. However, balancing the business side of the band with her personal life will end up being more than she bargained for.
Louisa is drawing inspiration from the beautiful Amalfi coast, channelling it into creating gorgeous gowns for modern day Sophia Lorens. But putting herself out there in the fashion industry will present its own challenges, even with the ever-supportive Luca by her side.
With the right mix of perseverance, love and plenty of Italian delicacies, these three sisters are about to discover that when they support each other, the sky really is the limit!
My review:
This is the first book I’ve read by Lucy – I didn’t read the
first in this series (I don’t know how that’s skipped me by though to be
honest!) – but it’s a nice, easy read that you can enjoy without getting caught
up in complicated plots and overlapping storylines, especially as you are
following three sisters as your main characters.
Although I think you may benefit from having read the first
as you will be fully invested in each character and understand their positions immediately,
I don’t feel I lost anything and would say it’s easy to read as a standalone,
you are fully caught up on each sister and what has happened previously. You meet each sister trying to forge their own
path in their relationships and careers.
The Italian style, recipes, lifestyle really comes across
throughout the book and what amazing sounding recipes! Honestly you will be drooling
all the way through, really adds to the story too. You can imagine yourself alongside
the characters.
This is a lovely book that explores hopes and dreams, shows
the work you must put it to follow your heart and it demonstrates the
importance of family, no matter where if they are near, far or just fondly
remembered.
I did find that everything seemed very good to be true,
nothing seemed to “go wrong” and I was always expecting something dramatic to
happen, or twist. Maybe that’s just how my mind works. It is a perfect read
especially for summer, something you can pick up and read pretty quickly. I
think the writing style is lovely and very descriptive too.
I’d definitely recommend.
