Roman Crazy by Alice Clayton & Nina Bocci is the first book in their Broads Abroad series. Congratulations Nina on your debut novel!!!! 
 This book is described as "a lighthearted story of second chances and living life to the fullest" and that is as accurate as you can get. It is a romance but the romance is not the main or only focus. Allow me to explain... 
 Avery Bardot has been betrayed and is on her way to Italy to spend time with a friend and find herself, the true core of who she was before she gave up pieces of her identity to better "fit" with her soon-to-be ex-husband. Her friend in Italy is so excited to see her she throws her a party and, thanks to Kismet and luck, the one that got away, Marcello Bianchi, is at this same party. 
 So yeah, there is a romance, but the journey Avery takes to find herself, her true self, is the meat and potatoes (or pasta and sauce) of the story and it is funny, sweet, bittersweet, and healing. 
 I loved it!!!!
