Pre-order the BRAND NEW laugh-out-loud, love triangle summer romantic comedy from MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER Portia MacIntosh! When Robin finds out she's going on a work trip to Italy she can't wait for a week away in the sunshine, away from the daily grind. So what if there's a client pitch to do while they're there? The thing Robin is most excited about is the chance to show her work crush, James, what she's really like outside of work, and divert his attention from Liz, her work rival. To make things even better, Robin realises that the town they're going to in Italy is the same place that her childhood penpal, Andrea is from. So it's the perfect time to re-connect and finally meet her old friend over some delicious Italian food and wine (between work obviously...) But when Andrea doesn't turn out to be the person Robin thought, things get a little complicated... So it's set to be a week of all sun and games... Until someone falls in love of course!

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the ARC of this book in exchange for honest feedback.
I really enjoyed “The Suite Life” by Portia MacIntosh and this one gave me similar vibes. I did think she let her Red Flag men (James & Rick) off the hook a little too easy but the book isn’t that deep so I’ll forgive it.
The book is under 300 pages and easily readable in an afternoon so it’s the perfect book if you’re in between reads or traveling and won’t have a ton of time to devote to a story. The relationship between Andrea and Robin was a little tame for me. I felt that she could’ve used the pen pal aspect to explain why they connected so quickly but it seemed more like a cliff note and without that I would never have expected them to fall in love.
All that aside, it’s a cute little romantic romp of a book. Very closed door so if you like romance without any spice this is a safe bet.
