Italian for Beginners-- Book Review

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.( Goodreads.com)

This is chick lit through 5spot. I've noticed that I love the books in 5spot.

I liked the story of a girl who decides to find out more about herself in Roma Italy. Cat always takes care of everyone else and decides to do something spontaneous and go back to her favorite place on earth. This is good quick read. This book did make me want to visit Italy. I found that this book was more about relationships in all and not just the boyfriend aspect. It was a good story and I read this book from my house to the bay area.

I have on my goodreads.com to read pile-- How to sleep with Movie Star also by the same author. This is the first time I have read this author and now I want to check out more books my her too.

There are recipes in the back for some of the meals mentioned through the book. Can't wait to try them in my house.
