Summary
He shattered her dreams. But not her spirit. It's 1990. With a leap of faith and three bulging suitcases, New Yorker Jayne Boland joins her almost-fiancé-boyfriend in Como, Italy, to start la dolce vita. That is until her stilettos step off the plane and lover boys ti amo - I love you - chills into a frosty finito - I'm finished.
Devastated by his betrayal, the gutsy twenty-four-year-old flees to the glittering fashion capital, Milan. But the killer city of trendsetters and luxury boutiques is unforgiving to a foreigner with more ambition than Italian fluency. Luckily, a chic acquaintance steers her to unfamiliar territory - and an opportunity to land her ultimate dream job.
Guided by fate, humor, and an unlikely mentor, Jayne tailors her own career path on a quirky road trip through gorgeous Lombardy, Cortina dAmpezzo, Venice and Croatia. Delve into her transformative journey where imagination, family sagas, and self-discovery are sewn together in an inspirational and entertaining quest for a second chance.

You should pick this up - and so should @netflix!
This is not my normal sort of book but it is ... truly delightful. It is sad (in a few parts) and absolutely hilarious (in many other parts). You feel you get to know the author as she takes you inside her own mind as she travels from NYC to Italy and Croatia while she encounters all sorts of weird and wonderful folk. The author's indomitable spirit makes you think she can survive anything and her quick wit helps too. As an added bonus, you will pick up some Italian phrases that can be used in erm ... various situations. I genuinely loved this book. Matteo's loss is our (and the author's) gain.
