Description
During a summer in Italy, two best friends discover whether true love is up to destiny or free will in this winning romantic comedy by the international bestselling author of Woke Up Like This.
For generations, the fortune-telling women in Lo Zhao-Jensen's family have foreseen The One-the great loves of their lives-before ever meeting them. Except for Lo, who has zero psychic abilities. Just memories of old rom-coms and a lot of poor judgment when it comes to love.
Until now.
When Lo finally has the vision she's been waiting for, her delighted aunties are convinced she'll meet The One on her backpacking trip in Italy. Vero amore, here she comes.
Along for the summer is Lo's best friend and confidant, Teller Owens, her opposite in every way. Upon arrival in Venice, Lo is saved from a runaway trolley by Caleb, a fellow backpacker. It's a meet-cute so swoony, it has to be fate. But with each destination, Lo's complicated feelings for Teller are becoming harder to ignore. From the cobblestone streets of Rome to the rocky cliffs of Amalfi, Lo begins to wonder if fate has other plans.
