Three generations of women in the Ferrari family must heal the broken pieces of their lives on a trip of a lifetime through picturesque Italy from New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst
Workaholic, career-obsessed Francesca is fiercely independent and successful in all areas of her life except one: family. She struggles to make time for her relationship with her teenage daughter, Allegra, and the two have become practically strangers to each other. When Allegra hangs out with a new crowd and is arrested for drug possession, Francesca gives in to her mother's wish that they take one epic summer vacation to trace their family roots in Italy. She just never expected to face a choice that might change the course of her life. . .
Allegra wants to make her grandmother happy, but she hates the idea of forced time with her mother and vows to fight every step of the ridiculous tour, until a young man on the verge of priesthood begins to show her the power of acceptance, healing, and the heartbreaking complications of love.
Sophia knows her girls are in trouble. A summer filled with the possibility for change is what they all desperately need. Among the ruins of ancient Rome, the small churches of Assisi, and the rolling hills of Tuscany, Sophia hopes to show her girls that the bonds of family are everything, and to remind them that they can always lean on one another, before it's too late.

Excellent Family relationships!
"I went into this book expecting something similar to the other Berkley titles I've been reading recently, but OUR ITALIAN SUMMER was much more charming and wholesome than what I normally read. Usually, encountering this would turn me off, but this book struck the perfect tone for what it was trying to do. Though much more about the relationships between the 3 generations of women, there are several romances throughout and some truly poignant and complex romantic moments between couples that I really enjoyed. Ultimately, I think the target audience for this book is a bit older than the title had me believe (and older than me), but I enjoyed the book nonetheless and felt moments of identification with each of the three women, regardless of our relative ages. If you're wishing you could jet off somewhere right now, but can't for obvious reasons, I think you'll enjoy this book as a vacation in itself. If you yourself are a mother, I think you'll love this even more! *Thank you to Berkley and NetGalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review."
