Many thanks to Beyond the Books PR for the ARC of this book!
Lydia St. Clair has been shipped off to Milan to work as a nanny for Isabella Rossi after she got kicked out of college, again. Lydia wants to leave as soon as possible until she learns that Isabella’s father is an up and coming fashion designer. She wiggles her way into interning for Marco, she realizes this is her love, her passion. But her father would never go for it. Then she meets one of the models, Nico. He’s handsome and funny. Life feels great for Lydia. Until things start to unravel. Lydia has always run away when things get hard, is she going to run again and lose everything she’s been working towards?
I’ll be honest, when I first started the book, I wasn’t sure about it. But once it got into Lydia working at the design studio I really enjoyed reading the book. Lydia’s growth through the book was a joy to read. She went from kind of being a stuck up rich girl to becoming a down to earth girl, truly living a full life surrounded by wonderful people. And the side characters in this book, even the little girl she nannies for, are wonderful. They are supportive and loving, inclusive – the opposite of the family that she grew up with.
Nico was a fantastic character. He was sweet and funny. What I loved about him the most was how much he loved his family, and how much he was willing to put them first. I also felt that Nico felt like safety for Lydia. I could imagine her snuggling up to him just to ground herself.
There were moments I laughed out loud, there were moments that I had hearts in my eyes. Overall, this was a really enjoyable read.
