Another book I read so long ago! But that’s okay if I hardly remember it, I am loving all these adaptations on all the streaming services I have.
I loved all the scenes in Italy – it made me reminisce about my honeymoon 11 years ago. I also love the food aspects of the movie. It made me crave pasta and gelato of course!
I thought it was a cute movie – my favorite parts were when Lina’s best-friend Addie was in the scenes, she made it fun. There is the love triangle between Lina trying to choose between Alessandro (hot, rich guy who’s going to Harvard) and Lorenzo who actually has a girlfriend but he’s the sweet, charming guy training to be a chef. There is some kissing, but all pretty innocent. I thought it’s a great summer movie option about traveling overseas instead of the typical beachy summer movie.
I haven’t read any of the other books in the series – should I? Let me know in the comments below if you read this series and if you will be watching this movie on Netflix!
Here’s the trailer:
Past Midnight Book Reviews & More 
I just watched this show this week. I did not know it was book though. I really loved the movie and now I just have to read the book.
Glad you loved it – it made me want to take a trip to Italy!
I just ordered all the books on paperback. Can’t wait to read them
Very exciting!
We weren’t big fans of the movie because they changed the characters too much. But we do recommend Love & Olives.
That’s too bad they changed the characters too much!
I didn’t like the movie much for the same reason… and the story changes they made. I mean, it’s a good movie if you haven’t read the book at all (or in a long time) but I loved the book so much that I had high expectations for the movie.
Yeah I haven’t read it in so long, since it first published! lol And strangely enough I didn’t totally love the series but it’s memorable for me because my best friend and I kind of buddy-read the series. She thought the show was just okay. I’m re-reading the first book right now just to see what was changed.
