Kendra's Comments: I love passionate people that grab life by the horns and dig in. I also love these types of characters in books – which is why I am crazy about the latest book I just finished, Very Valentine by Adriana Trigiani (check status at GPL).
Valentine is a custom shoe maker fighting it out to have the chance in her family’s business. This is her second career, so she is self taught and older than she would like to be. She is also a little unlucky in love. This book follows Valentine through a year of her life as she struggles to find herself. The setting is a mix of Manhattan and Italy, two magical places I hope to someday visit. It also has a back story of fashion and food. I don't know much about these topics, but love to daydream about them.
This is a great read for someone wanting a good, sweet story with a mild romance as a backdrop. It made me happy when I read it, like most of her novels do for me.
