Luna was raised as a world traveler by her hippie mom and never knew her dad, someone her mom met on her own travels. She never lost her wanderlust, but her mom eventually settled into a commune of tiny houses in Montana, which is where she passes away from cancer at the beginning of this book. Luna is devastated but finds the perfect distraction among her mom's things: a bundle of love letters from the owner of a bookshop in Venice, Italy, where her mom apparently used to work. Could this be Luna's father?

Luna and her best friend and travel partner, Gigi, head for Italy and take up residence in a hostel, with Gigi working at a local restaurant and Luna determined to get a job at the bookshop on the canal. The bookshop is adorable and home to lots of cats and rare books, but is horribly disorganized, and it's owner is struggling to bring in customers. Luna has lots of marketing ideas, but she's not the only one who wants the job. She's got to prove herself better for the role than a cute boy with differing opinions on books and life than she has.

I enjoyed the setting in this a lot, it felt very nostalgic of my trip to Italy, and I could picture the bookshop perfectly. Some of the marketing ideas for the bookshop were a lot of fun, and I was glad they weren't just "get on TikTok" or something. I did like the love interest, but the romance had some frustrating miscommunication in it. Luna wasn't my favorite FMC, her "quirkiness" made me roll my eyes a few times, but overall this was a sweet read with good escapism and found family vibes, but a little too sugary and surface-level to be memorable for me.
