Italian for Beginners -- Kristin Harmel

<b>In this romantic whirlwind of a novel, follow Cat as she flies to Italy to rediscover who she is, and takes the chance of a lifetime.</b> <p/>Thirty-four-year-old Manhattan accountant Cat Connelly has always lived life on the safe side. But after her little sister gets married, Cat wonders if she has condemned herself to a life of boredom by playing by the rules. To shake herself free from her old life, she decides to accept an invitation to spend a month with an old flame in Italy. But her reunion with the slick and gorgeous Francesco is short-lived, and she finds herself suddenly alone in Rome. <p/>Now, she must see if she has the courage to live outside the lines for the first time--and to face a past she never understood. It will take an unexpected friendship with a fiery Italian waitress, a whirlwind Vespa tour of the Eternal City with a handsome stranger, and a surprise encounter with an old acquaintance to show Cat that life doesn't always work out the way you expect, but sometimes you have to have fall in order to fly.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Kristin Harmel<br><b>Publisher:</b> 5 Spot<br><b>Published:</b> 08/13/2009<br><b>Pages:</b> 384<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.70lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.90h x 5.20w x 1.10d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780446538305<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Booklist</i> 07/01/2009 pg. 31<br><i>Romantic Times</i> 08/01/2009 pg. 55 - Good<br><i>People Weekly</i> 08/24/2009 pg. 54<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Kristin
