I don’t give out 5 star ratings very often but I absolutely loved this book! Yes, it was a sweet accidental roommates to lovers type romance and there was plenty of humor thrown in too. However, it was so much more than just that. The complex family dynamics, the theme of family being who you make it, reconciliation, learning to be true to yourself, forgiveness, the desire to fit in and belong, etc. Goodness! So much depth to the characters too. Yes, this was a fun, light read but it really resonated with me...and not just because I live in a town named Rome as well! It wasn’t fluff, if that makes sense. I highly recommend this book and believe it will be one I read again and again! I look forward to reading more from this author in the future!
