Review: Journey to Rome
Rating: 3 out of 5

This is a rather unique story about four women in Rome and there day to day lives. This was a somewhat enjoyable read but it had a tendency to drag on a bit. The story did not flow very well and I found myself at a loss sometimes as to the time and characters involved. I found it distracting at the beginning of the chapters with the text messages and the email format. I also had an issue with the Italian language thrown in at various places without always knowing what the meaning was behind the phrases. I know the author is now aware of the poor editing. My understanding is that this is being corrected. I did, however, take that into consideration with my rating. There was obviously some severe issues with Suzanne's son; but there were brief mentions here and there. no real follow through with his character. I won't go into detail on that point because I would have to give away spoilers. Overall, not a horrible read, but I do feel it could use some work to make it a better read. I was provided a copy to read in exchange for an honest review.
