Three best friends, Italian sunshine and a handsome stranger can fix just about anything… Can’t it? Maisie Knight had it all. A gorgeous husband. A successful business. A beautiful home. Until one day, after walking into the storeroom of their shop, she loses it all at once – catching her husband cheating on her with the girl from Checkout 3. So when she wins a holiday to Italy, a week under the Tuscan sun couldn’t come soon enough. Treating best friends Cheryl and Emma to a girls’ trip, the terracotta-roofed Villa Marisa on a rustic farm awaits them. The fields of golden sunflowers could be the perfect cure for Maisie’s broken heart – and local farmer, suspiciously perfect Gianni, with his thick black hair and twinkling brown eyes is a welcome distraction from her broken heart. Mornings waking up to freshly brewed coffee and views of the rolling hills, moped rides with cheeky Italians, and feasts of prosecco and pasta help Maisie forget her troubles. After all her heartache, she’s surprised when she starts opening up to Gianni – she’s even more surprised when the temperature rises and it’s not just the rays of the Italian sunshine… Maisie could get used to the good life. But just as she’s getting her spark back, disaster strikes. The next thing she knows, her past is catching up with her, reopening old wounds and Maisie has a life-changing decision to make. Should she say ciao to her summer of love and limoncello? A laugh-out-loud page turner about second chances, finding happiness when you least expect it and the restorative power of Italian food! Fans of Carole Matthews and Sophie Kinsella will be totally hooked by You, Me and Italy.

A lavish summer in Tuscany

This book definitely makes you want to spend your next vacation in Tuscany. With the elaborate accounts of Maisies visits to Siena, Pisa and Florence, the book could almost serve as a travel guide. And food guide as well, since plenty of Italian dishes are described in detail. This creates a great atmosphere of a lavish Italian summer.
Unfortunately, for me it also made the story feel rather factual instead of emotional, with Sue Roberts enumerating Maisies every move, thought, place she goes, thing she eats and people she sees. For me it was a tad overdone.
Also, it was a bit too smooth sailing for Maisie as well as her friends when everything fell into place so perfectly. I was missing a bit of an edge, a realistic touch (and the accident is not what I mean here).
With that being said, I still enjoyed reading about Maisies holiday under the beautiful Tuscan sun!
