Publisher Description
When a relationship expert’s own marriage falls apart, she invites four strangers to Italy for a vacation of healing and second chances in this uplifting new novel from the author of The Messy Lives of Book People.
Ginny Splinter, acclaimed radio host and advice expert, prides herself on knowing what’s best for others. So she’s sure her husband, Adrian, will love the special trip to Italy she’s planned for their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. But when Ginny presents the gift to Adrian, he surprises her with his own very different plan—a divorce.
Beside herself with heartache, Ginny impulsively invites four heartbroken listeners to join her in Italy instead while live on air. From hiking the hills of Bologna to riding a gondola in Venice to sharing stories around the dining table of the little Italian hotel, Ginny and her newfound company embark on a vacation of healing.
However, when Adrian starts to rethink their relationship, Ginny must decide whether to commit to her marriage or start afresh, alone. And an unexpected stranger may hold the key to a very different future… Sunny, tender and brimming with charm, The Little Italian Hotel explores marriage, identity and reclaiming the present moment—even if it means leaving the past behind.

Customer Reviews
Didn’t want it to end
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and had a hard time putting it down. It had a great plot and amazing, well developed characters. There were a few surprises keeping it unpredictable. All in all the story reflected real life and struggles without making it a depressing book.
Poor choice
This was a mildly interesting book that after a bit was pretty painful just to read through and get to the end. It had moments of not so bad- but all in all , I was super glad to finally reach the last page. Speaking of which- it really doesn’t have a strong finish and leaves you wondering why you stuck it out. I’ve made a note to move on from this author.
