review 1: Tell me SomethingBy Adele Parks(Penguin)ELIZABETH, a die-hard romantic, has only ever dreamed of an Italian husband and lots of “rosy-cheeked babies”. When she meets Roberto, it’s not long before she’s walking down the aisle. But back in Italy life is not about lazing in the sun. She has to contend with a scheming mother-in-law and Roberto’s beautiful ex. When Elizabeth meets the charming American, Chuck, she starts to wonder if she wasn’t a bit hasty in marrying Roberto. Adele Parks’ writing is witty, funny and down-to-earth. She weaves a beautiful story that makes you believe in love. — Nicolette Scrooby (Published in the Daily Dispatch on August 8, 2009)
review 2: For a chick lit read - this book is brilliant. It has a few errors, particul
... morearly Italian dialogue etc but if you're looking for chick lit (but not mushy or silly) than this book is for you. Its not a typical chick lit either so don't worry. The one thing I liked about this book is that the characters aren't usually what you would expect a a hero and heroine to be. The book starts off as though it will be a Mills & Boon with a rather pathetic and silly blonde heroine who is swept off her feet by a dashing dark Italian.... And then reality hits and we see that life isn't like a fairytale... The heroine isn't anything extraordinary and the hero isn't the dashing dark Italian you'd expect. The book is emotional, funny and sweet. It has lots of chick lit moments but it also defies the chick lit genre because the dashing handsome Italian isn't the Mills & Boon hero we thought he'd be... less
