The plot 



One day, I was sipping my cappuccino at a Roman café when a couple sat next to me, on a date. I couldn't help but listen to their exchanges, and that sparked my idea to write a collection of short stories set in some of my favorite cities around the world. These stories would involve modern and ordinary people falling in and out of love, and they would be infused with real-life Italian conversations and experiences. Just what you need to take your Italian up a notch!
