What is it about Italian mothers, or Jewish mothers or Irish mothers, etc? True to form, Cat's Irish Catholic grandmother interrupts Cat Connelly's sister's wedding to ask why it's her younger sister that's getting married and not Cat. Always the responsible one, Cat has lived her life playing it safe. Looking to escape a potentially bad relationship, Cat returns to the place where she was the happiest - Rome.

Italian for Beginners is a quick moving book that allows you a glimpse of a woman who undergoes a life transforming experience on her trip to Italy. Although somewhat predictable, this quick read is full of Audrey Hepburn in "Roman Holiday" references that will make you smile. Ms. Harmel has created a group of loveable characters that are easy to identify with.

For those who love Chick Lit or even Romance Novels, this would be a fun beach read.
