This is a light romance and heavy female friendship story. Ava, Chelsea and Madison meet in college and become a very tight-knit group of friends.

Ava is kind of toxic though. She came across as a spoiled rich girl that had to count on her friends to feel her worth.  Madison had crappy parents who didn't even want her and she basically raised herself so she really clung to these girls and flourished under their attention.... But this also leads to a breakdown in the group.  I actually liked Chelsea, she was the most grounded and down to earth one of them. I related to her motherhood challenges.

I did enjoy the setting of Italy and the descriptions of the beauty. I could have done away with half of the fashion talk as I tended to skim those parts.
