Description
In this romantic whirlwind of a novel, follow Cat as she flies to Italy to rediscover who she is, and takes the chance of a lifetime.
Thirty-four-year-old Manhattan accountant Cat Connelly has always lived life on the safe side. But after her little sister gets married, Cat wonders if she has condemned herself to a life of boredom by playing by the rules. To shake herself free from her old life, she decides to accept an invitation to spend a month with an old flame in Italy. But her reunion with the slick and gorgeous Francesco is short-lived, and she finds herself suddenly alone in Rome.
Now, she must see if she has the courage to live outside the lines for the first time—and to face a past she never understood. It will take an unexpected friendship with a fiery Italian waitress, a whirlwind Vespa tour of the Eternal City with a handsome stranger, and a surprise encounter with an old acquaintance to show Cat that life doesn't always work out the way you expect, but sometimes you have to have fall in order to fly.

        July 1, 2009
        Since her mother left, Cat Connelly has been the sensible one. But now that her little sister is married and her own love life has stalled, Cat spontaneously decides to visit Rome and the man she fell for on a summer abroad. Unfortunately, he hasnt held the same torch for her, and Cat is left alone in the Eternal City. Too hurt to look up her mothers family, Cat rents a room from Karina, a quick-tempered local. After a rocky start, Karina and her young son make Cat part of their family, and Marco, a chivalrous stranger, helps Cat rediscover Rome. Cat eventually realizes that true happiness doesnt lie in safe decisions, and this helps her come to terms with her mothers choices. Harmel, author of The Art of French Kissing (2007), can be predictable, but genuine characters and an idyllic setting make this an enjoyable summer tale.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2009, American Library Association.)
