The Five Year Plan

Esther

A delightful and light-hearted read.

Demi, our Main character, thinks her life is following along with her five-year plan of being happy with her boyfriend an taking over her father's café.
But of course, this book wouldn't exist if everything went according to plan. Not only does Demi's dad decide to hand the reins of the café over to her older brother, her boyfriend Will is starting to act strange and Demi suspects he might be cheating on her.
So, to get away from it all Demi decides to head over to Italy for some much-needed change of scenery.

Overall, I found the plot somewhat predictable, but the characters are well written and likeable. I also really enjoyed the vivid depiction of the places Demi visits in Italy. And the way Jodi Gibson described all the food had my mouth watering.

Thank you Netgalley, Brio Books, Verb Publishing and the author Jodi Gibson for the opportunity to read this Book as an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a perfect beach read! A lovely contemporary novel about Demi who had a plan for her life but wasn't really succeeding in fulfilling it. She makes a decision to travel to Italy and it starts a series of changes. It was a very quick read and it definitely put a smile on my face. I, personally, am obsessed with Italy and Italian food. One of my favorite trips I've ever taken was to the region of Puglia. The descriptions of cities in that region are extremely accurate and reading about all the delicious Italian food is definitely going to make any reader hungry.

As for things that weren't my cup of tea - I wish we got to know Leo and his family a little bit better.

This was a 3.75 stars book for me and I had a great time reading it!

Thank you to NetGalley for giving me a chance to read and review an ARC of this book.
