Description
Escape to sun-drenched Italy with a summery romance that will warm your heart and make you believe in love.
When Libby reaches the grand old age of 30, she decides it's time to grow up, find Mr Right, and settle down. But first she wants one last summer of fun – so she buys a one-way ticket to beautiful Positano in Italy.
There, despite all her good intentions, she can't help but fall a little in love with handsome Italian Luca and, as the summer draws to a close, Libby has some big decisions to make.
Should she head back home and face up to her responsibilities? Could Luca be the right man to start a family with? Or has the perfect man been waiting in the wings back home?
Perfect for fans of Sue Moorcroft, Ruth Kelly and Lucy Diamond, this romantic summer read asks: is it really better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all?

Wow, it was a story that did not immediately capture my attention what with a heroine skipping around beautiful Italy and just going with the flow of life. However, as I did love the author's previous title, I soldiered on and it paid off. Libby's story matured throughout and by the end of it, it was beautiful and full of life with all its good, bad, ugly parts weaved together wonderfully by the author.

Georgie Capron's friendly writing style meant I got into this story very quickly. I loved the descriptions of Italy - the places Libby visited were brought alive for me. I also really warmed to the main character, Libby. Libby is someone who I think people can relate to, 30 something, relationships never working out, drifting from one job to another, never able to settle down. Something life-changing happens to her whilst she's working abroad, and we see how she copes with it.
This is a nice story - possibly a bit too nice. There aren't many points of conflict, and the main one seems to be glossed over a bit too quickly. Perhaps we could have had some more thoughts and feelings from Libby at this time - some more angst. And other plot points seem to be resolved all too easily. I guessed what was going to happen romance-wise quite early on, so that was predictable. Occasionally I noticed Capron seems to list what happens, rather than bringing it alive - a case of more telling rather than showing, but there's not too much of that. I would have liked to have found out more about Libby's sister, Helen.
Overall this is a lovely story, perfect as a summer read.
