I'm super excited to help out in the cover reveal for my blogger friend, Kristin Rae!
WISH YOU WERE ITALIAN
– May 6, 2014 from Bloomsbury
Pippa always wanted to go to Italy, but not by herself. And not to sit in a classroom the summer before senior year learning about paintings by dead guys. Tempted by the romance of Rome and the chance to photograph ancient ruins, Pippa ditches the program and sets her own list of goals—get my picture taken at the Colosseum; get a makeover; fall in love with an Italian.
She befriends a local girl whose gorgeous cousin may be just the Italian Pippa’s looking for, but the road to amore gets detoured when she keeps running into a cute American student. And she can’t forget that her summer abroad is only temporary. As she explores the famous cities of Rome and Pompeii, Pippa must sort out her feelings before her parents figure out where she really is.
Praise:
“With Italy's brilliant landscapes, a main character you'll
love from the first line and a new dreamy book boyfriend (he's mine!), WISH YOU
WERE ITALIAN is a charming and addictive read. Devour this delicious treat like
a double scoop of gelato.” —Lindsey Leavitt, author of Going Vintage and Sean
Griswold’s Head.
Pippa’s from Chicago, so she’s had her fair share of deep-dish pizzas! But she’s quickly won over by the
simplicity of Italian pizzas and the papery thin crusts. She makes it one of her summer goals to eat entire pizza by herself. If I get a chance to visit Italy again one day, I think this will be a goal of mine too! DELIZIOSO!
Kristin Rae was born and raised in Texas though her accent
would suggest otherwise. She’s addicted to books, music, movies, crafty things,
and chocolate. A former figure skating coach, LEGO merchandiser, and
photographer, she’s now happy to create stories while pretending to ignore the
carton of gelato in the freezer. Kristin lives in Houston with her husband and
their two boxers.
