Review:
This book was everything I needed! A generations long curse? A trip to Italy to finally break it?! It was funny, a little mysterious, and somehow both heart-warming and heart-breaking. I loved the dual timelines and the descriptions of Italy. A wonderful read!
P.S. I have no energy for long reviews anymore. ๐
Synopsis:
“A trio of second-born daughters set out to break the family curse that says theyโll never find love on a whirlwind journey through the lush Italian countryside by New York Times bestseller Lori Nelson Spielman, author of The Life List.
Since the day Filomena Fontana cast a curse upon her sister more than two hundred years ago, not one second-born Fontana daughter has found lasting love. Some, like second-born Emilia, the happily-single baker at her grandfatherโs Brooklyn deli, claim itโs an odd coincidence. Others, like her sexy, desperate-for-love cousin Lucy, insist itโs a true hex. But both are bewildered when their great-aunt calls with an astounding proposition: If they accompany her to her homeland of Italy, Aunt Poppy vows sheโll meet the love of her life on the steps of the Ravello Cathedral on her eightieth birthday, and break the Fontana Second-Daughter Curse once and for all.
Against the backdrop of wandering Venetian canals, rolling Tuscan fields, and enchanting Amalfi Coast villages, romance blooms, destinies are found, and family secrets are unearthedโsecrets that could threaten the family far more than a centuries-old curse.”
