The Italian Wedding - Nicky Pellegrino (2009)
After all that thriller action, I felt I could do with something a bit girly without it being too chick lit. You know, how confessions of shopoholic falls on the bottom of the scale and Bridget Jones, the book not the movie falls at the top end. This one falls somewhat heading up towards the Bridget end. Meaning it was girly and romantic, without being over the top and the lead character was a smart girl, and not in love with her handsome (but dumb) boss/servant/carpenter etc...
Pieta is busy helping design wedding dresses for a famous London designer, but dreaming of making her own hip designs. Meanwhile, her sister is planning her wedding while getting frustrated working in their fathers restaurant. When MrMartennelli is forced to slow down, Pieta gets to spend time with her mother, and finds out how a quiet English girl travels to Rome and falls in love with their Italian father and where the feud between him and his former best friend got started.
This was an easy read, one that didn't tax the brain cells too much, but didn't insult them either. I particularly enjoyed the parents story and will be sure to seek out Nickys latest book. 4/5
