When I think I don’t have a lot of time to read but want to read something light but not TOO light or when I’ve had about all I can take with YA problem books I turn to authors like Adriana Trigiani. Luckily, I stumbled across Kiss Carlo at exactly the time when I was done with YA problem books.
It was as you’d expect, if you’ve ever read any of her books (particularly those not in the Big Stone Gap series.)
