In the first book in Graeme Simsion's duology, The Rosie Project, genetics Wish You Were Italian is a great debut novel by Kristin Rae and it has increased my desire to go to Italy. It was so much fun, I read it in two days. Kristin Rae has created a beautiful journey through Italy with romance, intrigue, and joy. It was great to see the sights with her fresh eyes and through her camera lens. I especially enjoyed that it felt like I was in Italy with Pippa, truly sharing in her adventure and wonder. Chiara is so sweet and takes great care of Pippa, and Darren knows so much of the history that it's like having a personal tour guide. I loved Pippa's awkwardness, her artist's eye, and her desire to really live every moment. This made the trip extra fun for Pippa and for me. It centers around Pippa's journal in which her best friend left her challenges to complete in Italy. Wish You Were Italian is a charming novel. The question is: will she meet him again?

It’s while eating gelato before dinner that she meets Darren who takes her on a trip to the Colosseum and helps change the course of her trip.

When she arrives in Rome, she puts off going to Florence so she can take in the sights while she has the chance. Pippa has always wanted to visit Italy, but being shipped off for an art program she has zero interest in? Not what she had in mind.
