The Star-Crossed Sisters of Tuscany - Lori Nelson Spielman

my review : ✮✮✮✮

I love this book!! 🍝 📖

This booked allowed me to escape cold and dark Chicago for a vibrant Italian getaway 🇮🇹 .

This is the story of Filomena Fontana. Filomena is the second born daughter and for the past 200 years every second born daughter in her family has been unable to find lasting love 😢. Filomena works at her family bakery 🧁 in Brooklyn and her life is …. safe (aka borning). That is, until her great aunt Poppy invites her on a once in a lifetime Italian adventure.

Mix yourself a Negroni ( 1 part Campari, 1 part Gin, 1 part sweet red Vermouth) and look at Google images of the picturesque town of Ravello while reading this book.

you’ll love this book if you love:

A dreamy Italian getaway that will transport you wherever you may be
The best kind of love story, one where you fall in love with yourself (there are some babes too, of course)

my favorite quote:

“Being lost is where the beauty lies. Lost in a book. Lost in someone’s eyes. Lost in a symphony so sweet it brings you to tears.” She smiles. “Lost in a beautiful floating city on a starry night. This is magical, yes? It’s being found that’s the disappointment.”
