The Villa Girls - Nicky Pellegrino (2011)
For us, it is the perfect book reading time of year. TV sucks as usual, and the long dark evenings make it perfect for climbing into a warm bed and reading for an hour before lights out. I'm not a big lover of the Chick Lit genre, as so much of it is overly simplified and cheesy, but Nicky Pellegrino usually manages to knock out a book that is easy to read, and has interesting characters. Of course all the mentions of tasty Italian food descriptions can have you dreaming of creamy pastas too.
In this one we get to hear of two stories: Rosie, the orphaned sad photographer who goes on holiday with her friends and Enzo, the sad young man working with his family on the olive estate. How will they meet? Will they stay together? What will Nonna think?
So on grey cool days, it was good to be reading a story set in summer seaside Spain and Italy, I could see the scenes in my head, and for that I give it a 4/5.
