Synopsis

“Hands down a standing ovation from me!” —Suzanne Park, author of So We Meet Again, on Here for the Drama

A Most Anticipated Book of the Season by Goodreads, Distractify and Biblio Lifestyle!

When an American interning at a fashion house in Rome butts heads with her professor's surly son, sparks fly!

With her thirties rapidly approaching and a mountain of student debt looming over her, Violet Luciano’s dream of finishing design school and working in fashion has cost her everything. So when she lands an internship at an up-and-coming fashion brand in Rome, she brings her A game to Italy. With nothing left to lose, Violet plans to win the competition among the interns for the ultimate prize—a job at a New York label.

But when a coffee run goes wrong and Violet accidentally destroys a stranger’s laptop, all of the apology Americanos in the world won’t help her. Because it turns out that the man from the café is Matteo, her professor’s eternally grumpy son, who thinks she’s a clumsy American…and maybe a stalker. Their animosity (and undeniable chemistry) grows as together they’re forced to face a summer of chic parties, adventures through Rome and sharing a home…with the person they can’t stand the most.   

The more time she spends with him, the more distracted she finds herself. With her chance to win the competition slipping out of her grasp, Violet has to decide whether to say ciao to Matteo—or ciao to her dreams.

Goodreads review by Nilufer on July 03, 2023

Fashion, spectacular sightseeing in Italy, marvelous food, chilled Prosecco, explosive chemistry between characters - such a powerful romance blended with enemies-to-lovers and forced proximity, sunshine-meets-grump tropes, reminding us of the Italian version of "Emily in Paris" as "Violet in Rome":......more

Pour yourself a glass of Prosecco, and enjoy being transported to the stunning streets of Rome. "Love isn't something that you find or that finds you, love is something you gift yourself. You design it. You decide who you are going to love and who will have the privilege of loving you back." This was......more

Goodreads review by Innis ☾ on July 31, 2024

"Поки бувай" зібрала в собі стільки моїх пристрастей: літо, Італія й дизайн одягу 🖤. До того ж тут така романтична парочка ворогів, яка змушувала часом сміятися просто вголос. І на закінчення усього цього приємно огортає загальна ідея книжки про важливість обирати перш за все себе попри все і за будь-......more

4.5/5 Мені сподобалося. Це було атмосферно, мило, смішно і зворушливо. Чудові головні герої і прекрасні другорядні, Італія, літо і кохання. Колись Віолетта відмовилася від своїх цілей і повністю присвятила себе коханню. У свої 29 вона вирішує взяти життя в свої руки, і здійснити свою давню мрію стат......more
