After a Prosecco-fuelled girls' night in gets out of hand, Ruthie Collins awakes to discover that she has bid for her dream Italian home online - and won. Recently out of a relationship, a new start is just what Ruthie needs. Anything is better than sleeping on her mum's settee.

Love it!

This was a fabulous book! Made me feel like I wish I had bought this house online!

More enjoyable than anticipated!

While the story can be predictable at times, the narration is wonderfully enjoyable and makes the story more real! This is a great book to listen to while driving or doing tasks that do not require your full attention.

Overall Sweet Story, But Slightly Annoying Main Character

I generally loved the story! My only issue was that the last fee chapters, before the end of the book, the main character became very whiny, wishy-washy, and annoying. But it was a lovely story!

Good Storyline, AWFUL Narrator

Would you try another book from Jo Thomas and/or Rachel Atkins?

I'd never listen to another book by this narrator.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Rachel Atkins?

No way! I spent the entire time turning up the volume and turning it back down. Atkins ruined this book for me. She alternated between yelling and whispering. Truly awful.

Love in Italia!

This is a lovely story! Made me want to go on an adventure. I could see the scenery unfolding before me. Bravo!
