Lizzie & Dante
Lizzie & Dante | Mary Bly
7 posts | 6 read | 10 to read
"On the heels of a difficult break-up and a devastating diagnosis, Shakespearian scholar Lizzie Delford decides to take one last lavish vacation on Elba, the sun-kissed island off the Italian coast, with her best friend and his movie-star boyfriend. Once settled into a luxurious seaside resort, Lizzie has to make big decisions about her future, and she needs the one thing she may be running out of: time. She leaves the yacht-owners and celebrities behind and sneaks off to the public beach, where she meets a sardonic chef named Dante, his battered dog Lily, and his wry daughter Etta, a twelve-year-old desperate for a mother. While Dante shows Lizzie the island's secrets, and Etta dazzles with her irreverent humor, Lizzie is confronted with a dilemma. Is it right to fall in love if time is short? Is it better to find a mother briefly, or to have no mother at all? And the most difficult question of all: What if falling in love inevitably leads to broken hearts?"--

Mehso-so

Ummmm 🤨 the title of this book is Lizzie and Dante & the attraction / get together happens pretty quickly but then , unlike ALL romances this author decides to drift off and give centre stage to the b list characters ! Who cares about grey and Rohan and ruby ?? Why was ruby even in it ?? Page 180 and Lizzie and Dante have had just one passionate night written about , Etta is a great character but no where near enough about Lizzie & Dante . Shame

kspenmoll Mary Bly writes also under the name of @EloisaJames - sound familiar?! 3y
kspenmoll There is so much more to this novel- what is the meaning of family? Betrayal, friendship, accountability- portrayal of someone living with cancer is authentic. 3y

This was a beautiful love story. Not just a love story of the hero and heroine but the love of found family. This is very different from the other books by this author-she is most famous writing as Eloisa James (historical romance). This is not, I would place this in the Women‘s Fiction realm. Some CW I‘ll put in comments. 4.5⭐️ Another bingo for #bookspinbingo
