Read With Alexandra (RWA)

Submitted by Alexandra Marino Durmišević

Adriana Trigiani’s latest novel is a must-read for the summer. I did not want this book to end! I stopped reading the last 20 pages one night because I wanted to savor the ending and not rush through it. It has all my favorite elements in a book: romance, family secrets, and a beautiful setting. I found myself texting quotes from this book to my mom, sister, and husband because I connected with the main character so much. I loved the Italian traditions and witty banter of the family. Like other RWA picks, I enjoyed looking up unfamiliar Italian words and adding them to my vocabulary.
