Wendy needs to come clean with her daughter about what exactly went on all those years ago in Wendy and her friend Amanda get to spend the whole summer on the Amalfi Coast, house-sitting in Positano. Your wedding day is one of the most memorable days in your life, full of emotions and surrounded by all those that you love. I just thought it was a nice little memory to put her in it because she was such an important part of my life. And I love the fact that I can make food from what we have in our garden, which is a huge thing for us nowadays.

We follow Nicki on Positano Diaries and it is wonderful to read about the people and places that she, and us through her YouTube channel, know and have come to love. I seldom read a book these days, and never soppy romances, but I could not put this down as I recognised so many places and people. In rented accommodation, back then we didn't have any money and we were struggling and it wasn't a particularly nice apartment that we were living in.

Back then there was this real sort of summer culture where the Italians would come on holiday for the summer, and you'd know them because they'd be the same people coming back every year, and we'd have repeat visitors, so at the end of the beach day, everybody would migrate to the Buca del Bacco, the piazza on the beach, and have an aperitivo, and everybody would socialize.

So I loved reading and me and my mum together, we always talked about writing a book one day, and it was something that we both loved the idea of doing. I love books that have crossovers with other characters or books that have places that you can actually look up on Google and find, and they're real.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. I really enjoyed this story and having lived in the 80's enjoyed the song references and clothing description. This is definitely a book which I will keep in my permanent collection, as some books you read and pass on. He took me to this little place where he always stayed, one of these smaller family owned places, Casa Cosenza. It is a typical love triangle, with the wife made to be a drab stay-at-home body, and the husband conveniently using this as an ‘excuse’ to sleep around with a young 24-year old tourist.
