Olive Stone is about to spend four weeks in Italy with the most beautiful man she’s ever hated.When Olive Stone and her Italian pseudo-celebrity chef father fell out fourteen years ago, annoyingly handsome Leo Ricci slipped right in as his surrogate son and sous-chef. No one is more surprised than Olive when her father wills her his beloved (and now failing) restaurant. Or that his dying wish was for Olive and Leo to complete his cookbook…together.She’s determined to sell the restaurant. Leo is determined to convince her not to. As they embark on four weeks in Italy, traveling from Sicily to Tuscany to Liguria, they’ll test each other as often as they test recipes. But the more time Olive and Leo spend together the more undeniable their attraction grows. Olive finds herself wondering whether selling the restaurant might be running away, and what it might be like to try Just One Taste of Leo Ricci. Because he isn’t who she expected, and this trip might reveal more about who Olive is than she’s ready for.
The second half of this book really took off -- much more so than the first half. So if it's a slow start for you like it was for me, just know that. If you like Emily Henry and past Lizzy Dent books, you will like this. It was just ok for me even with all the food and traveling through Italy ... I just didn't love Olive and found her self-sabotaging annoying. Still a good beach read!
"One day, Olive, you'll fall in love, and there will be no more running," says Kate, who thinks I reject men because I don't wish to be rejected. Whereas I think the problem is simply that most men eventually have an insurmountable fault. Like clapping when a plane lands, or pronouncing David Bowie's name wrong, or over- using exclamation marks.Ginny thinks I could find fault in a sunset.
