Publisher's Synopsis
Sara has lost her zest for life - trapped sharing a house with her ex-husband and grown-up children, working in a job where her boss bullies her, the final straw is the heartbreak of losing her beloved best friend, Lainey. But Lainey's death could be the beginning of Sara's new life - as the last gift Lainey gives to her friend is a sum of money and a request - that Sara travels to Italy, the scene of the pair's youthful adventures, and scatters Lainey's ashes on the beach at Portofino. For once, Sara decides to be brave. She quits her job, tells her family they can manage without her, and sets off on the trip of a lifetime. Swept up by new friends and relishing the freedom of being away from home in beautiful Florence, Sara finds herself drawn to Carlo. Handsome and charming, he is everything Sara finds it so hard to be: carefree, impulsive and happy-go-lucky.
