Review:
Every time I sign in to Netgalley and see a new book by T.A.Williams, I instantly download it to my Kindle. There's something so refreshing and interesting about his novels that I just have to read them. I've loved every novel I've read of his so far and once I get time in my busy reading schedule I want to go back and read some of his earlier works too!
But for now, lets get on with his news novel: Dreaming of Florence, and I am so, so excited to be part of the blog tour for this fabulous book. First of all, I have always wanted to go to Florence, it's been a dream of mine for quite a while now, so reading this book which is set at that exact location was wonderful. I felt like I was living my dreams through this story. The cover of the novel is also extremely beautiful and draws you in. I couldn't wait to read it even more once I'd spotted the cover!
The story itself was so fascinating, I loved reading about Debbie's story on her move to Florence to be an English teacher out there but when she eventually gets there, she finds that it's so much more than that. The descriptions of the city itself sound fabulous and all of Debbie's adventures sound simply amazing and I wish that I could live somewhere just like that! The parties that Debbie attends are fascinating and I love when she and Dario visit various interesting locations in the wonderful city.
It was lovely to read about Debbie and her romantic relations, throughout the book I was starting to feel sorry for her as she had been through so much and it seemed like she had had such bad luck when it comes to relationships. I found myself really relating to her character. However, when she met Dario, I was just hoping that they got together! They seemed perfect for each other. I loved the ending of the book as well, it was lovely and romantic. I don't want to give too much away but I will say that I really, really enjoyed it and I would recommend you give it a read! There are some twists that I really didn't expect!
Overall, a really beautifully romantic and heartwarming novel. Another brilliant story by T.A. Williams. Thank you to Netgalley and to the publisher for a chance to read this novel which I have reviewed honestly.
