Another brilliant book by the brilliant Adriana Trigiani. Loved so many of the characters, and I yearn to go see both Lake Comos. The families sure make me wish I was Italian!
Captivating!! I loved Jessβs story of rebirth and finding happiness after she lost so much. She proved that perspective and self knowledge are the keys to happiness.
I waited some time for AT to write another book. I found every inch of this book honest, funny and an excellent read. The only thing I did not like was that it ended! I highlighted and shared all the laugh out loud funny things and shared them with my friends who grew up with Jewish Mothers. I am ending the book with a smile in my heart.Thank you Adriana. Thank you!
I enjoyed most of it, but found Mira Sorvino voice annoying and the sobbing too fake. I yelled out more than once to please stop. Wonder what my neighbors were thinking! Also the sexual orientations of some characters was unnecessary and fell flat, I wanted to hear about Italy and could care less about someone's sexual liberation. To me, Jess was too much of a sap, I just wanted to shake her. to grow a backbone. I was rooting for her when she had the guts to take off to Italy and leave her horrible mother. I love Adriana Trigiani books, but I mostly enjoy stories about her family. This one was ok, but I do recommend it to anyone who loves to take an imaginary trip to Italy.
Best book I have read in ages. So real, so relatable, you don't need to be Italian to understand this family.
