I adore Leonie Mack's books and she's one of my favourite people I have "met" through bookstagram too. Her words just evoke vivid imagery. She'll have you creating travel bucketlists like no one else. Thank you to Boldwood and Rachel's Random resources for having me on the tour. You can find my other reviews of Leonie's books here Twenty one night's in Paris, and My Christmas number one and Berlin Calling by her alter ego Lilo Moore.
Synopsis
Jenn has always prided herself on being a city girl – she insists on easy access to good coffee, great food from around the globe, not to mention an easy commute. So, when her job takes her to one of the most famous Italian wine regions in search of the perfect Prosecco, travelling to meetings on a tractor is a bit of a culture shock.
Tiziano hates the city. He was made for the mountains and vineyards of Veneto, and generations of his family have earned their living from the land. But times are changing even in the Italian countryside, and the arrival of Jenn at his grandmother’s B&B opens up a window on a different world.
Jenn has two months to persuade the Prosecco producers to trust her with their business, and Tiziano has one summer to persuade Jenn that there’s more to life than the rat race. But can a city girl and a country boy ever find enough in common to see a future beyond one long summer of sun…
My review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was such a great, easy, and comforting read, one that made me want to pack my bags and immediately fly to Milan and wait for a bus to take me to Veneto.
I absolutely loved the mistranslations the characters said, and how sometimes the mistranslation was even more fitting than if the character had said the correct word, Nonna was especially cute with hers.
I love how Tiziano was like a familiar song to Jenn, how she couldn't resist him and loosened up around him and the absolute raw magnetism between Jenn and Tiziano just made the story perfect, her formal, prideful persona vs his relaxed, easy going one, you really couldn't get more opposite to each other. But the way they just brought out the best in each other and opened new world's and sides to themselves, they either previously ignored or didn't know was there.
The character growth of Jenn, her quite staunch upbringing, made her who she was, but Tiziano, her polar opposite, showed her what she didn't know she needed in her life.
Leonie's words create such a sensory explosion, with the vivid descriptions of sights, scents, and flavours that take you right into the story. The ending gave me goosebumps, and I really didn't want to leave Tiziano and Jenn. I think this was my favourite book by Leonie.
