Holy book connections, Batman! This is my second book featuring Positano in a week. The other one was By Any Other Name by Lauren Kate. So, I see that this new titles from Rebecca Serle is getting some mixed reviews. The one thing I love, love, love about Rebecca Serle's books is the time slip tropes. Our MC finds herself in another time and/or is interacting with other characters outside of time. Serle also excels in writing about female relationships. In her previous title, In Five Years, best friends were featured. This time we explore the mother/daughter relationship. Katy and her mother Carol had a very close relationship. So close that Katy feels totally without direction now that her mother is dead. I found this a bit extreme and the fact that Katy runs off to Italy with no regard for her husband also bothered me. On the other hand, the descriptions of the Amalfi coast and the food are incredible. Every time I read a book like this, set in Italy, I wonder why I am waiting so long to visit myself.

Thank you to Atria Books and Edelweiss+ for a DRC in exchange for an honest review.
