Unfortunately for Anh Nhi Walsh (Annie), her (ex) fiancé Clark has found his true love with someone else, but hasn’t planned a new wedding — just a new bride. Ouch! Not to mention, he’s using Annie’s ten thousand dollar deposit on the venue for his new wedding, in the same place, at the same time, on the same date! So it’s pretty understandable when Annie decides to uproot her whole life to create space between her, the ex, and the new bride to be. Annie grasps at the chance to start anew, taking a temp job, in Rome! But yes, it’s actually Rome, Rhode Island. Just when you think Annie can’t catch a break, she begins to find herself and a new life in Rome.
I enjoyed this book. It was sweet, honest, and heart wrenching all at the same time. I felt in a few instances the writing had abrupt scene changes. I was able to overlook abrupt scene changes because the dialogue while the characters were being honest and/or mean to each other was sometimes so heart wrenching I could feel the emotional squeeze in my own chest. This book did make me cry and the journey was worth it.
Thank you to Bookish First and Kensington Books for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this sweet and flirty novel.
