Hey! Here's my review.
Now I want to learn to paint and travel to Italy!
Vanessa has written an emotionally engaging and evocative tale of romance and self-discovery. The vivid descriptions of Italy and painting drew me in and the slow burn romance kept me turning pages. I really connected with Mia - I felt like I got right inside her head. And Luca **swoon** I could listen to him talk all day long.
A fabulous debut from Vanessa - I'm looking forward to reading more of her work.
