Title: When In Rome: A Novel of Piazzas and Passion Author: Gemma Townley type of book: Romance / Chick Lit call number: PB/ROM

This book is strong in character, story and setting.

Summary:
Georgie is a research writer at a legal publishing company and is dating the perfect but sometimes boring David, an investigative fraud accountant. Georgie is still holding a flame for Mike Marshall, the charming and gorgeous man who dumped her by leaving a note on the kitchen table. It's been two years; Mike shows back up and asks Georgie to accompany him to Rome - the very place David has always promised they would go but that he is always too busy to take her. Georgie thinks Mike has matured and wants her back. David turns up in Rome to give her the "Roman Holiday" royal treatment like Audrey Hepburn. Georgie finds herself wondering why both men are conducting business in Rome and sets herself to uncover the mystery.

I might recommend this book.

Why?
Georgie is witty and her plight through romantic relationships and other relationships is interesting and fun to read about, even though she is a little hard to like as a person at times in the story.
