My Lemon Grove Summer - Jo Thomas

Blurb
When life hands you lemons ... is it ever too late for a second chance?

Zelda's impulsive nature has got her precisely nowhere up until now. A fresh start in a beautiful hilltop town in Sicily looking for new residents, together with her best friend Lennie, could be just what she needs. And who better to settle down with than the person who knows her best?

But the sun-filled skies and sparkling seas can't hide the shadow hanging over Citta d'Ora, which means not everyone is pleased to see their arrival. The dreams Zelda and her fellow new residents had of setting up a new life might be slipping away. But a friendship with restauranteur Luca could be about to unlock the possibilities that lie in the local lemon groves. And there's a wedding on the horizon that might be just what the town needs to turn it around...

Could a summer in Sicily help Zelda learn to trust her instinct and follow her heart?

Review
I absolutely loved this novel! 

Thomas provides perfect escapism to sunny Sicily, the scenery idyllic and food sounds scrumptious.
The characters easily investible from the beginning. And I love the way the character physical looks are subtly described and the emphasis on personality. The storytelling is beautiful and I love how Mount Etna had a character all of her own! She is definitely enigmatic even in real time to warrant it!! The perfect rich, warm and sunny read for this gorgeous bank holiday weather.

Thanks to Headline Review and Anna for sending me this in exchange for an open and honest review.
