I have absolutely zero faults with this book, it's filled with summer, romance, loss and heartbreak.
To begin with, the books synopsis reminded me of Morgan Matson's book called Second Chance Summer.
I'd barely made it 100 pages in before I had probably cried at least 5 times, it's incredibly heartbreaking and sad but this book is absolutely wonderful, the story about three sisters and their mum coping a year after their dad's death where they all fly out to Rome to attend their Aunt Alice's wedding and during the holiday they finally talk and process their fathers death and learn how to cope without their dad. I loved going through the motions with our main character Milly, the ups and downs, love, happiness and sadness. Keris Stainton's writing for this book was perfect, she captured all the characters in such a perfect way and the story that she told was done right.
One Italian Summer deserves 5/5 stars, it was beautifully done and has a gorgeous cover. I recommend if you want to enjoy a nice heartbreaking summery romance and if you enjoyed books by Rainbow Rowell, John Green and Morgan Matson but a fair warning... You might cry!
