Meet Me In Italy by Brenda Novak
Meet me in Italy by Brenda Novak is a multi-character, dual relationship romance set on the Amalfi Coast of Italy. Two couples stand at a relationship crossroads. Will either of them make it? Will you like this new spring romance book?

Meet Me In Italy by Brenda Novak
To an outsider, Charlotte‘s life seems perfect. She’s married to a player for the Los Angeles Lakers. She’s also a successful first time author, as her high profile relationship propelled her sports romance to best-selling success.
But then one day Charlotte’s husband tells her he doesn’t want to be married anymore. On top of that, she finds out that she has a newly orphaned half sister living in Italy.
At first I found Charlotte a bit hard to relate to, as her life seemed a little too charmed. She was an NBA wife, a successful author, a woman raised by wealthy parents. But her life wasn’t as charmed as it seemed: her rather narcissistic husband isolated her from her family and best friend Sloane.
With the help of Sloane and Sloane’s twin brother, Julian, Charlotte starts working through her problems: her husband’s controlling behavior, the looming deadline for her new book, and what to do about an orphaned tween.
The book also includes the POVs of Sloan, Julian, and the suddenly orphaned Lilly.
