Milly loves her sisters more than anything - they are her best friends. But this holiday is different. The loss of their dad has left a gaping hole in their lives that none of them know how to fill. Heartbreak is a hard thing to fix...
Still, there is plenty to keep the girls busy in Rome. A family wedding. Food, wine, parties and sun. And of course Luke... Luke is hot, there is no way around that. And Milly will always have a crush on him. But this summer is about family, being together, and learning to live without Dad. It isn't about Luke at all... is it?

If you haven't read anything by Keris Stainton before, one of the many things she is good at is balancing gritty realism with perfect escapism. One Italian Summer's rather beautiful cover might lead you to believe that it's a fun, romantic, summer adventure - and it is - but it also focuses heavily on grief.
