I bought this book for Nonny for Christmas. We decided to read it for my book club and I was overjoyed! It is a really fast and interesting story set in non other than Florence, Italy. On her mothers death bed she begs her to go meet this man who was her friend the exact same years ago as she is old...so...its got to be her long lost father she has never met or known about. She goes to Florence and has a crazy time trying to piece together her mothers life while she was living there 15 years ago. Along the way she finds love, and GELATO!!!

It was so fun to read because I recently went to Florence and when she talked about the Duomo, the Ponte Vecchio, and the obscure gelato place that was heavenly I reminisced about when I experienced them. It was like I was back there. I just HAD to eat some gelato while I read this book, although it is not the same frozen from the grocery store as it is in Italy.

All in all, a very fun book, albeit a bit predictable. Maybe I've just read too many romance books, but I figured out all the secrets in an instant. It was still very fun to read. She is coming out with a new book "Love and Luck" in May about a girl who travels to Ireland. So...MosleyGirlsTrip 2019 to Dublin???

My Lady Jane


I LOVED this book! I enjoy learning about English royalty, and romance, and fantasy books and this one has all of those. It is a hilarious and frustrating story about Lady Jane Gray, if she had lived and lived in a world that had people who could turn in to animals at will. There were several references to Monty Python and the Holy Grail as well as quotes from Shakespeare (attributed in the book to one of the main characters, hey he could have been Williams inspiration right?!). It was a fun read and although I said it was frustrating, it all came together in the end.

It is written by three authors with each one taking a main character and telling the story from their point of view. It was seriously fun and enjoyable. Pick it up or borrow my copy because I bought it!
