This edition of book is published by Createspace in 2016 and has 346 pages. 

Gorgie, a beautiful young lady, fed up with her mother's efforts of match making, escapes from England to Italy. She wants to tan and find love. Here she meets a devastatingly handsome Italian guy, Gianluca. But this brooding hunk isn't interested. 

What is Georgie looking for? Will she like Italy? Will she find love? Why is Gianluca aloof?

The story takes place in Italy in the area called Cinque Terre, in the village of Vernazza. It's a beautiful setting. Picturesque rural Italy with sea inn one side and mountain on other.

Georgie wants to befriend Gianluca but he is not approachable. He tries to avoid her. But Georgie decides to make him a friend and perseveres until Gianluca relent.

Is love in the offing? When the happy end approaches, a secret is revealed. Gianluca does not take the final step, holds back. Can Georgie and Luca find their place in the Sun?

Narration is very good. Apart from the details of amorous encounters, it's a clean romance. There is no villain, but circumstances. You know how it will end but you want to know what happens in between. 

I remember that when I was in Italy in late 1990s, movie 'Un posto al Sole' was making waves, although, I did not watch it then. When I saw the book I instinctively decided to read it.

Why did I read this book? The movie. 

What I didn't like?  Umm.....

What did I like? Story and execution

Recommend reading.
