I loved everything about this book except for the last two chapters. For me, this book was absolute perfection from the main character, who left her life in Italy for a chance at connecting with a family she never knew to the descriptions of the lush Italian vineyard where most of the book takes place. I loved the atmosphere and the found family Erika finds in her deceased grandfather's vineyard; everyone she meets is absolutely charming and pure in every sense. I really enjoyed reading about Erika's journey of finding herself and happiness throughout her journey of learning about Italy and her grandfather's life.
My only issue with this book was the last two chapters which were highly rushed. I enjoyed the care and subtleness of the relationship between Erika and Paolo, a farmer who worked closely with Erika's grandfather; their relationship grew so naturally and sweetly that it made the final couple of chapters much more jarring.
I recommend this clean, adult romance for anyone looking for a sweet story with interesting characters and a bit of taking a chance on a single phone call.
