I almost gave it 3 stars because the book kept my attention enough to want to finish it, but as other reviews pointed out there were moments that clearly showed that the author hadn't done enough research. Whitecaps on the beach in Tallahassee?? Someone who never travels has a passport and can jump on an international flight with one day's notice?
But my biggest issue is the plot hole that you could drive a truck through...

How could Lillian ever think Freddie believed he was Fiona's biological father? First, in chapter 7 we learn that Lillian is on the pill. I don't recall ever reading that she stopped taking it, but I guess we must assume that she did at some point during the summer in Tuscany. But regardless, Freddie went to Paris for at least a month (Anton mentions that the winery “will be crawling with tourists in July” and it's August when Freddie returns) and his first night back the book says very clearly that they didn't sleep together. Unless his accident affected his perception of time and/or his understanding of human gestation (!), he would absolutely know that he wasn't the father. So the entire premise of the book is far fetched, to put it mildly!
