Thoughts:
Aurora’s career as a life coach and motivational social
media influencer is prospering and her boyfriend’s determination and goals
match her own. She’s strict about her adherence to her life goals, diet and
fitness.
However, her Italian mother thinks Aurora doesn’t have the
passion she should and that she’s missing out and not embracing true happiness
by always denying herself. And then suddenly her mother dies and turns Aurora’s
life upside down.
Aurora can’t just brush away her grief like her boyfriend
expects. He was a piece of work! The main driving force in her strict
lifestyle, IMO. She can’t continue to coach and produce podcasts telling people
how to live their life when hers is unraveling and she has no support. On a
whim she sends in her DNA to see if there’s any family and gets the shock of
her life. Her mother has a bunch of family in Italy.
I enjoyed seeing Aurora draw close to her Italian family,
uncover the mystery of why she never knew about them. The food and setting of
Italy sounded delicious and gorgeous! I loved Aurora’s loud and boisterous
family! Quint, who started off as a friend and ended up as so much more, was
lovely!
Aurora’s journey through grief and figuring out what’s
important was a moving one! I enjoyed seeing her slow down and savor the gifts
life has to offer.

Book Description:
When she learns she has a big Italian family she never knew about, a lonely woman travels to Sicily for a life-changing summer in the new romance from New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst
Aurora York had it all loving parents, a steady relationship, and a promising career. But after she loses both parents unexpectedly, she can’t seem to stay on track any longer. Lonely and lost after a public meltdown that threatens her professional credibility, she’s shocked when DNA test results show a blood relative in Sicily. When her cousin reaches out online and begs her to come to Italy to meet everyone in person, Aurora makes the leap.
Aurora arrives in Sicily for a month, and there she meets a colorful, dynamic family steeped in tradition. The younger generation is fascinated by her social media fame in America, and even though her grandparents have more traditional viewpoints, Aurora begins to heal from her grief…and enjoys the attention of a kind and handsome Italian man.
But when the summer ends, a new opportunity calls her back to the States and her old habits threaten to reemerge. Will Aurora leave everything in Sicily she loves behind, or take the chance on a whole new future?
