This book was an easy almost immediate 5 stars for me. I loved it from the moment I picked it up to the end, it was warm, funny, hopeful, sweet, and just overall good vibes.

I really enjoyed following Ulysses and all of his life's ups and downs, what a fabulous character and I was so sad when I finished and would no longer be hanging out with this cast of characters. 

Sarah Winman has made me want to travel to Italy and fall in love with the place just like everyone in this beautiful book.
