Meet Me in Milano by Mariuccia Milla

After cheating on her inattentive boyfriend in NYC, Melinda takes off for Milan, Italy, to find a design job in an architectural studio. But Jonathan is such a good guy that he follows her there, just to keep an eye on her.

Mel yearns for the romance of the expat life, and in this swirling tale of relationships backdropped by the the hustle of Milan and the gorgeous Italian landscape beyond, she finds it. The scene shifts from Milan to Lake Como, Rome, and Naples, where the characters gain ever-changing perspectives on what they believe about themselves and one another. If you’re into Italy, “Meet Me in Milano” is the real deal. There’s plenty of espresso, food, wine, not to mention an amusing portrayal of Italian men, of course!

“There are a thousand reasons to love this book. It's sweet, delicate, and unfolds at the pace of relationships that actually mean something.” – an Amazon reviewer
