Rome provides the beautiful backdrop to this light romantic read. Amelia has the starring role in the new Roman Holiday remake and is herself having a glamorous Roman adventure. She meets Philip, a struggling America journalist, and tells him that she is a hotel maid. This is the epitome of light and fluffy reading, which in all honesty is what I need at the moment, however, I found there to be little depth to the characters and the chemistry between the two main characters is not really there. I did love the descriptions of Italy and Italian food. My favorite parts of the novel are the letters written by Audrey Hepburn to her sister describing her experiences making the original movie. These letters were intriguing and would make a really good speculative fiction novel. Overall, this is an enjoyable book that I had fun reading. I received an E-arc of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
