The New York Times bestselling author of In Five Years returns with a powerful novel about the transformational love between mothers and daughters set on the breathtaking Amalfi Coast.
When Katy's mother dies, she is left reeling. Carol wasn't just Katy's mom, but her best friend and first phone call. She had all the answers and now, when Katy needs her the most, she is gone. To make matters worse, their planned mother-daughter trip of a lifetime looms: to Positano, the magical town where Carol spent the summer right before she met Katy's father. Katy has been waiting years for Carol to take her, and now she is faced with embarking on the adventure alone.

But as soon as she steps foot on the Amalfi Coast, Katy begins to feel her mother's spirit. Buoyed by the stunning waters, beautiful cliffsides, delightful residents, and, of course, delectable food, Katy feels herself coming back to life.

And then Carol appears??in the flesh, healthy, sun-tanned, and thirty years old. Katy doesn't understand what is happening, or how??all she can focus on is that she has somehow, impossibly, gotten her mother back. Over the course of one Italian summer, Katy gets to know Carol, not as her mother, but as the young woman before her. She is not exactly who Katy imagined she might be, however, and soon Katy must reconcile the mother who knew everything with the young woman who does not yet have a clue.

Rebecca Serle's next great love story is here, and this time it's between a mother and a daughter. With her signature "heartbreaking, redemptive, and authentic" (Jamie Ford, New York Times bestselling author) prose, Serle has crafted a transcendent novel about how we move on after loss, and how the people we love never tru… (meer)

After losing her mother to cancer, Katy decides to take the trip to Italy that the two of them were planning to take together. There, she will encounter a mysterious woman who reminds her of her mother and a man who will make her question her life choices.

To enjoy this novel, you need to let go of a part of your logic and reasoning. Similar to [b:In Five Years|50093704|In Five Years|Rebecca Serle|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1586399012l/50093704._SY75_.jpg|71431652], this book has a supernatural twist that is the key to the story. It wasn't incorporated perfectly, but I didn't mind. I liked the other big twist that happened in that part of the plot and didn't see it coming.

When Katy saw the photo of herself in her mom's room, I was totally shocked I dropped my Kindle. It was such a good twist! However, Katy's behaviour afterwards was silly and unbelievable.

The weakest part for me was the whole Adam subplot, which wasn't very satisfying and felt a little redundant/unfinished to me.


This book is mostly about the narratives we create about people we love and the fact that we never really know the whole truth. The truth may, after all, not even be more important than love. I didn't expect this novel to go in that direction and for that, I give this 4 stars. I enjoyed being mentally transported to the Amalfi coast, that is the biggest value of this book.

Bizarre. The relationship that Katy has with her mother is not healthy at all. The plot just gets weirder the farther into the book I got. The whole trip to Italy becomes unbelievable in the end. ( )

Can't finish it, the heroine is too annoying, selfish, and cruel (to her husband) without a good reason.

Katy has always been very close to her mother, Carol, and when her mother dies Katy is left feeling alone, abandoned and lost. Who will tell her what restaurant to go to? Who will decorate her house? Who will make holidays special? At her husband’s suggestion, Katy decides to take the trip to Italy she and Carol had planned. Once in Positano, however, Katy comes across a woman SO like her mother, she’s completely caught off guard.

I was fine with this story at the outset, though I thought Katy was very immature for a woman who is thirty. She acted so much like a teenager, voicing a desire to be independent and make her own decisions, but still reliant on her mother to cook, clean, furnish the house, give her permission to go somewhere, etc.

But the tale took a decidedly odd turn about two-thirds of the way through when it’s revealed that Katy has actually time-traveled back to an era when her mother visited the same village. And I felt the ending was pat and rushed.

It held my attention, and it was a relatively fast read. But I’m not sure I’d recommend it. ( )

I just feel like I need more time….I really just feel ambushed, you know?  I mean, I thought I had so much more….time. I thought I had all summer to impart my wisdom about work and life  and your future, and I just feel like I had something to tell you. Oh!  On the bus, make sure you choose a good seat, you know, because people are creatures of habit, and seat you pick in the beginning could be your seat for the rest of the year, you know?
     Get a window seat, honey, ‘cause there’s so much to see.
