Ginny is about to celebrate a milestone wedding anniversary and arranges for a trip to Italy with her husband to renew their vows and celebrate the occasion. When she reveals this surprise trip to her husband, he tells her that he’s leaving her.

Needless to say, Ginny is devastated. As a radio host and advice expert, she’s used to helping her listeners with their relationship problems. It is too late to cancel her Italy plans without losing her investment. So she decides to go on the trip alone and take the money from the expensive resort she was intending to stay at and use the money to bring four of her listeners along with her. The producer of the show chooses the winners with unique backstories about their recent losses.

The hotel where the group stays is smaller and traditionally Italian. The owner and his teenage daughter have their own backstory surrounding loss. The author does a terrific job of allowing each of these characters to tell their backstories as they begin to feel comfortable with the group.

I loved the day trips that the group takes to nearby areas such as Venice. The book feels immerses the reader in the Italian culture making it a lovely escape read. The characters are well-developed and likeable. I enjoyed witnessing how these characters changed throughout the course of the book and the choices they eventually make on their futures.

I recommend this book to readers who enjoy Women’s Fiction or stories set in Italy.
