Working in Pizzeria Dolce Vita as a waitress, Mary encounters Dante the brother of Natale whom she befriends the best of the family whom run the business she's now working for. Though they get off to a tentative acquaintance at first, soon Dante and Mary grow closer despite any awkwardness at the beginning and discovering the mystery behind Dante's sight loss after enough trust has been created between the pair.
During the novel, the team all pull together including Maria's ideas for the restaurant in how they can stay within the top ten of pizzerias on the Lombardi list as they face their competition in ratings and with Maria's help hopefully they'll swim and not sink beneath the weight of their competitor's. Yet Rocco becomes threatening towards Maria and unsure why he is acting so, Maria finds herself feeling out of place once again.
From trusting in crystals over people and having fun dancing plus of course being up for a change and facing up to the challenges thrown her way, Mary is a weak seeming character but with hidden strength which is admirable and makes her even more likable for how well she stands on her own two feet never giving up whatever she faces. The plot is a slow developer over the course of the novel and is unrushed flowing just nicely and naturally. Each character has deep secrets which you won't expect and make the characters all the more real. This is a book you won't regret picking up if you love Jenny Colgan or Cathy Bramley's books!
Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
