How to Survive an Italian Boyfriend
An Accidental Guide to Italian Love, Food, and Emotional SurvivalBy Stefano Blackwood
Length6h 34m
About this audiobook
She went to Rome to find herself. She found Marco instead.
A comedy about love, food, and the emotional suicide of falling for someone who says amore mio to parking spaces.
Brittany Smith booked a one-way flight to Rome to escape a man in cargo shorts. She did not book it for Marco Esposito — a man who calls you amore mio on the first night, has opinions about every ingredient that has ever existed, and will shake your world in ways you never saw coming.
The moment you stop translating a different culture into your own, something extraordinary happens. You stop resisting. You start living.
It will make you laugh out loud. It will make you cry when you least expect it. It will make you want to book a flight to Italy and never come back. Funny, specific, and genuinely romantic.
