Would've been more stars if the heroine and her family weren't so infuriating.

I loved the best friend, Parker, and am glad she's got her own story.

This book is a heartfelt, emotional romance. It's not an extremely fluffy book, but it has a lot of heart and humor. Higgins certainly did her research, at least on the Italian end of things, which was so pleasing. I was extremely happy with the ending of this book, especially after some interesting things came to light. I'd recommend this to anyone who's looking for a lighter—yet not inane—read.
