My Thoughts:
I chose this book just because it was Reese’s March choice. I ended up falling in love with the flawed characters in the Perkins family. It reminded me a bit of Elin Hilderbrand’s characters, and how she is able to expose their weaknesses and flaws, but you still are able to fall in love with the good and bad. I cried and laughed while reading this book.
I highly recommend this book! As our country in basically quarantined, this would be a great book for anyone to read right now to read the descriptive details of Greece, Italy, and Spain. I fell in love with all the characters, and anyone can relate to the ups and downs of every family.
