    Wondered if I would finish this book...
  

*by M***C on Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2020*

It was good until Valentina goes to Venice and runs into smarmy Stefano. After she met and responded to him, I stopped and read ahead to see if the story is worth finishing. Not sure I will. I don't like the end.And then to describe him as a Rick Springfield lookalike! I thought she might be bringing him back to meet Aldo, or that she and Aldo, who is her best friend and knows her better than anyone else, might, after all, fall in love even though Aldo is gay. Stranger things have happened, and it's a shame they didn't happen in this story.I would have liked the story better if she had enjoyed Venice on her own, as a sort of sabbatical, and recovery from her failed wedding,  clearing her mind  and heart of Michael and going home with a clear head instead of being drawn in by a smarmy tour guide who has probably used his charms on other unsuspecting female tourists, and behaving like a loose woman herself in response to Stefano's stalkerlike behavior.  Valentina, ignoring the advice of her mother fell in love on the rebound and in the throes of sexual attraction with a questionable character  who has probably made his moves on any female tourist who attracted him and was 'easy'. She knows very little about the man whose proposal of marriage she accepted. Stefano is not a well-developed character, and the reader does not get a clear impression of him either. He has no history, and his family is barely mentioned.I did finish the book, and I give the author points for her description of Valentina's Italian-American family, neighbors, and their interactions.The lush Venetian atmosphere and the destination wedding there was beautifully depicted. It was a nice escape for the reader.Just didn't like Stefano. Valentina who describes herself as conservative and traditional certainly doesn't behave that way. She always seems to follow her instincts, even when the 'better angels of her nature' counsel against them. She is not a likeable heroine.

    SO SO
  

*by E***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2018*

This book would have been much better if some of the dialogue was eliminated.  I got bored with all of the yacking, especially among Valentina and her sisters.  I was bored to tears with all of the name dropping of designers and in the first part of the book, when Valentina was engaged to Michael, I thought she was a snob and a brat.  Her thoughts upon receiving shower gifts that weren't on her registeries and especially a piece of Mikasa china in that she would NEVER buy Mikasa, made me want to slap her.  Until Michael broke their engagement, I felt that Valentina was a vapid character.  She did, however, grow up and redeem herself as the book progressed which makes it a book about redemption or, perhaps coming of age.  Nonetheless, it was an entertaining and fast read.I would suggest to the author that she provide more translations of her Italian conversations.  I can read a little Italian but feel that I missed a lot.This book reminded me a little of Adrianna Trigiani's books about Italian American families and believe that Ms. Chiofalo shows real promise because she feels the heart of the immigrant family.

    Excellent Romantic Novel
  

*by N***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2015*

This book was recommended by a friend. To be honest  I expected another novel about Italian Americans in New York. Though the characters were Italian American,and yes it was New York, I enjoyed the storyline. This is a tale of romance, starting with a girlhood crush, putting your love and trust in a young an you've imagined being married to all your life. This was the case of the main character, Valentina, and Michael,  who should have remained a friend. Instead he developed a romance with Valentina, prepares to marry her, than backs out because he wasn't truthful with his past. She ventures on to the destination where their dream wedding was to be...Venice. And finds that though hurt by Michaels suddenly backing out of their wedding, unexpected love is found again. Back in NY, her widowed mother finds an old love from her youth in Sicily.The author brings out the emotions of the characters very well, especially when Valentuna's father was dying, and her encountering girls who decided to fight her just before her father's death. Also, the raw emotions on her being told her fiancé didn't want to get married.This is not only a romance novel, but a novel on true friendship. Valentina has a special friend, more of a confidant name Aldo, who knows her better than anyone else.Rosanna Chiofalo is a great story teller. Her writing style compliments the story, making this a book that will be hard to put down once you start reading it. I am looking forward to sharing this novel, and reading more of her novels.
