This was very different book than the others, in a positive way. Twelve people, twelve signs of the zodiac, twelve different stories gathered in one. Twelve different characters, every single one with different thoughts and opinions.Holly, Sagittarius, is a travel writer. She travels to Italy to do a research for her new book. Ahhhh, Italy, Bel Paese, my favorite country. I enjoyed being with Holly on her journey in Tuscany, eating Italian food, speaking Italian, meeting Dario, gorgeous Italian.Tom, Capricorn, is Holly's fiancé. His fiancée is not there, he is lonely, so he goes to internet chat room. Will internet chatting turn to something more?Maggie, Aquarius is everlasting student. After her marriage fell apart, she has returned to what she knew the best, studying and teaching.Jennifer, Pisces, is Maggie's best friend. She takes care for her ill mother. She sacrificed her personal life to be there for her mom. I've been a caregiver by myself, so it was easy for me to find myself into her story. I could feel Jennifer's pain seeing her mother suffering. Her life changed when she met Ben. She wants to be happy, but her duties always come first. But Ben has some skeletons in his closet. Can Jennifer handle with them?Those were just some of the characters. Just to get you into the story. I am Virgo, so I couldn't wait to read what was the story for Virgo person. I loved it. I loved all the characters, well, most of them. Some of them were cheaters, some liars, but they were all looking for their personal happiness. I was wondering how would this story end, how were all these people connected. I was expecting some more dramatic end, but this leaves a place for book two. I hope that there will be book two. I liked the way the stories were narrated, I liked the flow, the vivid descriptions of the places. I also liked that the author has made this story international including Italians and Poles, also including some Italian and Polish phrases. I would recommend this story for everyone. I am sure that everyone can find a little bit of him/herself in some of the twelve stories in this book.
