From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of I Owe You One, an utterly delightful novel about a woman who ditches her dating app for a writer’s retreat in Italy—only to find that real love comes with its own filters “As close to perfect as romantic comedies get.”—Jenny Colgan, New York Times bestselling author of The Bookshop on the Corner Call Ava romantic, but she thinks love should be found in the real world, not on apps that filter men by height, job, or astrological sign. She believes in feelings, not algorithms. So after a recent breakup and dating app debacle, she decides to put love on hold and escapes to a remote writers’ retreat in coastal Italy. She’s determined to finish writing the novel she’s been fantasizing about, even though it means leaving her close-knit group of friends and her precious dog, Harold, behind. At the retreat, she’s not allowed to use her real name or reveal any personal information. When the neighboring martial arts retreat is canceled and a few of its attendees join their small writing community, Ava, now going by “Aria,” meets “Dutch,” a man who seems too good to be true. The two embark on a baggage-free, whirlwind love affair, cliff-jumping into gem-colored Mediterranean waters and exploring the splendor of the Italian coast. Things seem to be perfect for Aria and Dutch. But then their real identities—Ava and Matt—must return to London. As their fantasy starts to fade, they discover just how different their personal worlds are. From food choices to annoying habits to sauna etiquette . . . are they compatible in anything? And then there’s the prickly situation with Matt’s ex-girlfriend, who isn’t too eager to let him go. As one mishap follows another, it seems while they love each other, they just can’t love each other’s lives. Can they reconcile their differences to find one life together?

I enjoyed this one. Not perfect, the MC was annoying at times but it was very readable and fun! I REALLY liked the ending and the “moral” of the story if you will and two people coming together, learning from each other, and tweaking parts about themselves to make themselves better. Very sweet :)
I won the Kindle copy of this book via a Goodreads giveaway and I was ecstatic because Sophie Kinsella is one of my favorite authors! This is my honest review in exchange and gratitude for it.
In usual Sophie Kinsella fashion, this book had me in stitches! It's a sweet romantic comedy that warmed my heart and reminded me that often the best things in life show up when we stop looking in the usual places. Sometimes when we get out of our own way and throw caution to the wind and just go for it, we can find what we really need. I loved this and would like to thank Random House for the digital copy.
