My Review:
This book has it all, memorable characters, a beautiful
setting, friendships and love. Lots of
talk of food and fashion didn’t hurt either.
The story is a glorious escape.
It will stay on your mind for a long time.
Actress Amelia Tate gets the role of a lifetime starring in the
remake of Roman Holiday. Playing Audrey
Hepburn’s part will be a big step in her acting career. But it is putting a strain on her love
life. Her fiancé wants her to settle
down with him, get a real job and quit acting.
Amelia loves acting, so she follows her heart and goes to Rome to film
to movie.
While in Rome, Amelia has many adventures with her newly
found friend, Princess Sophia and falls in love with Philip, a journalist. Amelia leads Philip to believe she is just a
maid at the hotel where she is staying.
Philip isn’t completely honest with Amelia either. How can
a romance started with lies work out?
Amelia also discovers she is staying in the very same suite
where Audrey Hepburn stayed while she was filming Roman Holiday. She discovers a stack of letter written by
the star and spends her days and nights reading them and discovers many secrets
about one of her favorite actresses.
There are so many great moments in this book. I loved it and I know I will be reading it
again soon.
It's in my TBR. You're making me even more excited to read it!
ReplyDeleteI have to say that this book just replaced Summer Secrets as my favorite book this summer. You will LOVE it when you read it. Every time I read one of Anita's books, I feel like I have just been on an incredible adventure. I would love for one of her books to be made into a movie.
