"When in Rome…"
Beautiful story, beautiful writing. Sarah Adams captures our hearts once again with Amelia, a stranded pop-tart and Noah, Mr. small-town baker. We see love and lost, insecurities and strengths. As a closed door romance, Sarah is able to provide rising steam without falling into spicy smut which adds to the lightheartedness of the novel. Can we get a round of applause for all the supporting characters please?! I loved everyone, especially because there is at least one person that every reader will be able to relate to. Overall, a novel I would recommend to anyone looking for a lighthearted read where the past struggles to hold one back from moving forward and sometimes one just needs some time to find oneself. Also, Audrey Hepburn references!
P.S. Hoping for a future bonus chapter or even a short novella! *fingers crossed*
