Can’t Wait Wednesday – ONE ITALIAN SUMMER by Rebecca Serle

 

“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, which encourages fellow bloggers to spotlight upcoming releases that we’re excited about.  It is a meme that I have  loved participating in since I first started blogging, but as Jill is no longer actively posting, from now on I’ll be linking to Can’t Wait Wednesday, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, which is a spinoff of the original WoW meme.

My selection for this week is ONE ITALIAN SUMMER by Rebecca Serle.  I just love the premise of this one and that Italian setting doesn’t hurt either.

ONE ITALIAN SUMMER by Rebecca Serle

Publication Date:  March 1, 2022 by Atria Books

 

From Goodreads:

When Katy’s mother dies, she is left reeling. Carol wasn’t just Katy’s mom, but her best friend and first phone call. She had all the answers and now, when Katy needs her the most, she is gone. To make matters worse, their planned mother-daughter trip of a lifetime looms: two weeks in Positano, the magical town Carol spent the summer right before she met Katy’s father. Katy has been waiting years for Carol to take her, and now she is faced with embarking on the adventure alone.

But as soon as she steps foot on the Amalfi Coast, Katy begins to feel her mother’s spirit. Buoyed by the stunning waters, beautiful cliffsides, delightful residents, and, of course, delectable food, Katy feels herself coming back to life.

And then Carol appears—in the flesh, healthy, sun-tanned, and thirty years old. Katy doesn’t understand what is happening, or how—all she can focus on is that she has somehow, impossibly, gotten her mother back. Over the course of one Italian summer, Katy gets to know Carol, not as her mother, but as the young woman before her. She is not exactly who Katy imagined she might be, however, and soon Katy must reconcile the mother who knew everything with the young woman who does not yet have a clue.

    A once in a lifetime trip with a parent would be such a wonderful trip. I’m not sure where my dad would have wanted to go, as he always seemed content to stay home or at least in the United States. I think my mom would like to take her Alaskan cruise finally. It’s something that she has talked about doing my entire life, and it was a trip she and my dad kept talking about but never did.
