DNF: One Summer in Sicily by Nancy Barone

Synopsis:

A new fun and fresh rom-com set in Sicily by Canadian-Italian author Nancy Barone.

In an attempt to resuscitate her twenty-five-year-old marriage, aerophobic Gillian Dobson knocks down a few tranquilisers and takes a dreaded flight to the Sicilian Island of Lipari to surprise her husband, away on a business trip. But her troubles are just about to begin...

For fans of Jennifer Weiner,
Kristen Bailey and Sophie Kinsella.




My thoughts:

Unfortunately this book was added to my DNF list.  I gave it an honest try at 35%, but I couldn't get myself into the story.  I really wanted to like this book and really felt for Gillian and everything she was going through with her relationship, the trip and all that it entails.

While I may have not enjoyed it as much as I'd have liked others may!  I'd been interested in checking out some of Nancy's other titles.
