When it falls apart is a wonderful start of a new series. The author is well known for her immersive story telling, where flawed characters find their lows and highs throughout this world that she created.

Many of her stories are very reliable and this one did not differ from her past ones.

Brooke is going back to her hometown, where life is not what she was expecting. Having to deal with an ailing father and meddling mother, she needs to take a breather.

And that break is found in the arms of a single dad, Luca.

Luca’s family is bigger and welcome Brooke with open arms.

I loved all these secondary characters’ interaction and how the meaning of a real Italian family is shown through them.

Big family gathering, delicious food and always there for each other.

A beautiful story about a second chance at love and life that will warm your heart.

Very grateful to the publisher for my review copy
