A Place in the Sun by Jo Thomas

#APlaceintheSun #NetGalley

Jo Thomas is a go to author for me when I want a “good read,” meaning one that will keep the pages turning, has a delightful setting (with yummy food), and characters with whom I want to spend time. All of these are present in A Place in the Sun as I (virtually) traveled to Italy with widow Thea and her two young children.

The house that Thea’s husband had bought needs A LOT of work; will the multi-talented Giovanni, help? The meet cute of Thea and he is indeed cute and he will indeed help.

Readers will hope for good things for Thea as she gets to know the people in her new community. Her husband died too young. Her finances were a mess but perhaps Italy will have the answers. This is what the reader will want.

Spend time with the people in this part of France. You won’t want to leave.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House for this title. All opinions are my own.
