A born-and-bred Londoner, Cassie needs to break free from her larger-than-life Indian family to unearth the secrets they've been hiding. Heidi disappeared years ago and the only contact Cassie has with her elder sister is through infrequent Italian-stamped postcards. Now, in her twenties, Cassie embarks on a life-changing journey to the south of Italy.
Twenty-first-century regional Italy is a melding of steep cobbled paths, head-spinning-coffee, and little spoken English. Her new flatmate Carmen's Italian wit keeps her sane, while the mysterious Ethan appears everywhere she goes. Can Cassie stick to finding Heidi, or will she get spun away by carb-heavy food, a persistent man, and la dolce vita?
If you're looking for a contemporary romance with an extra serving of sarcasm, then it's time to dig in The Beauty of Decisions will transport you into the warm embrace of the secluded and lesser-known city of Campobasso in southern Italy.
