One Italian Summer: A Novel Review: Rebecca Serle - Excellent author! I got away from reading books and just listened to them on my IPhone. I wanted to get away from electronics and feel that holding a book again. Looking forward in reading my book after reading “In Five Years” she wrote. She’s an excellent writer . She keeps you wanting to keep reading. I would recommend Rebecca Serle books Review: Good non-sci fi book with a sci-fi element - Books that involve some kind of time traveling element that make a character examine their lives in a new way are probably my favorite kind of books. This one had the added fun of the magical setting of Positano, which I have now added to my travel wish list. I enjoyed the setting, the whimsy, and the main character's interaction with another version of her mother as the main character process her own grief. I saw one twist coming but not all of them. All good stuff. The ending and one of the twists I did not see coming are what prevent me from giving this book 5-stars. I felt that the main character's self-evaluation wrapped up a little too conveniently. I can't say much more without spoilers, which I will detail below.... SEMI-SPOILERS After all of her pondering about how she just drifted through life, let things happen rather than making things happen, including her own relationship, I was disappointed that she then....went back to her same relationship. It was a little too convenient that oh hai this was good after all. was it, though? Or was she just vulnerable and looking for something familiar? Also - the plotline of a woman leaving her underage children in pursuit of self-fulfillment is one that pops up periodically in fiction. The unstated (or sometimes stated) point is that hey, men having been doing this for years and everyone's fine with it, why is it not ok when women do with it? People: it's not okay for ANYONE of any gender to peace out on their underage children in pursuit of self-fulfillment. Yes, it's hard and it sucks, but it sucks ever so much worse for your confused underage child(ren) for whom you are the entire world. If my husband had peaced out to find himself when I had a six month old at home, I don't think I would have been waiting for him when he came back. So, a good read, and clearly made me think even if I disagreed with the conclusions. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #7,145 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #109 in Women's Friendship Fiction #202 in Contemporary Women Fiction #738 in Contemporary Romance (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (22,577) | | Dimensions | 5.31 x 0.72 x 8.25 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 1982166800 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1982166809 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 288 pages | | Publication date | March 7, 2023 | | Publisher | Atria | ## Images ![One Italian Summer: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81epvYDIxsL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rebecca Serle *by T***R on January 30, 2026* Excellent author!

It’s a breeze to read through and it really transports you into the world. Overall, this book was so reflective. I truly felt the grief that Katy was feeling and understood and could relate to the feelings she had about her mother after losing her. There are some things you never stop and think about or question until perhaps it’s too late. Spoilers ahead: I loved the magical realism aspect of this book and the twists towards the end, however I really could not get on board with the cheating trope. Magical realism or not, I just didn’t like it. I didn’t like the disconnection with her husband from the beginning and then felt she was so unfair to him the entire time. It felt very selfish and unfair even though she was grieving. I can’t justify it because time travel or not, it actually happened and she was conscious of her betrayal as it was happening and then it was like it never happened. With all that being said, I understand the concept of her mother being her true love and herself feeling lost without her but I still can’t love past it. She was lost in her grief, I get it but I feel for Eric. I still very much enjoyed the book and the story. I loved the scenery and the writing. ## Frequently Bought Together - One Italian Summer: A Novel - In Five Years: A Novel - Every Summer After --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/464161441-one-italian-summer-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.es/products/464161441-one-italian-summer-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
