Kate Sanderson has been burned by love. From now on, she thinks, I will control my own destiny, and I will be reasoned and rational. But life has other things in store for Kate. Namely, a summer abroad studying Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet in the very town where the star-crossed lovers met, Verona, Italy. Kate is thrown together with two other American teens and three Italians for a special seminar—and for volunteer duty at the Juliet Club, where they answer letters from the lovelorn around the world. Can Kate's cool logic withstand the most romantic summer ever? Especially when faced with the ever-so-charming Giacomo and his entrancing eyes . . . ?

 

A summer in Verona, Italy! Si, Si! This was a fun, cute, read that will remind you of our dear friend Juliet, and how she conquered love!

Kate is reasonable thats what everyone tells her. She likes things the way the are, and she most certainly doesn't believe in love. After Jerome breaks her, she refuses to ever fall in love. But who can resist a blooming summer romance in Italy?

Kate was a fantastic main character. I loved her strong attitude, and serious self. Even is she is a serious person, she was able to joke and play around. Her two friends Sarah and Annie remind me of my friends! They joke around about boys, and place bets. They had me laughing a few times in this novel. Giacomo.... ohh how I do love an accent! He sounded so charming, but sometimes a little stuck up..Benno was by far the funniest character!  His witty remarks had me rolling on the floor. I wasn't a big fan of Silvia... for certain reasons that I won't spoil for you.

Can I just say that I really want to go to Italy now?! Suzanne made it sound so beautiful there, and relaxing! Don't forget all the food! I am drooling just thinking about it!

It's written in 3rd person so you get everyones point of view. Which I love, because I want to know what the other characters are thinking! 

I thought the plot was going to be completely predictable, but it wasn't! It kept me on my toes.

This book also  provides a little 'how to' in the flirting department! HAH! Lets just say if every guy read this and flirted like Giacomo I would fall in love over and over again!

I really like this cover! It's super cute.

Suzanne did a great with this! I was pleasantly surprised!
