Italian for Beginners by Kristin Harmel

Italian for Beginners by Kristin Harmel

Thirty-four-year-old Manhattan accountant Cat Connelly has always lived life on the safe side. But after her little sister gets married, Cat wonders if she has condemned herself to a life of boredom by playing by the rules. She decides to take a chance for once, accepting an invitation to spend a month with an old flame in Italy. But her reunion with the slick and gorgeous Francesco is short-lived, and she finds herself suddenly alone in Rome. Now, she must see if she has the courage to live outside the lines for the first time - and to face a past she never understood. It will take an unexpected friendship with a fiery Italian waitress, a whirlwind Vespa tour of the Eternal City with a handsome stranger, and a surprise encounter with an old acquaintance to show Cat that life doesn't always work out the way you expect, but sometimes you have to have fall in order to fly.


This is a cute fun book to read. This novel brought back lots of memories for me. I was thinking of all the good times and the crazy things I did as a teenager on my many vacations in Italy. Oh do I want to go back and ride the countryside on a Vespa again and eat all that delicious food.
If you like romance and adventures this is the book for you to read.
