Ciao for Now: A Romantic Comedy

Product Information

The chemistry between Violet and Matteo sizzles from the start. I really enjoyed their meet-cute disaster and their grumpy/sunshine dynamic. Their initial hostility combined with the forced proximity gave this an enemies-to-lovers vibe that I couldn’t resist. A cute, lighthearted rom-com set in one of the most beautiful cities in the world! Violet is a 29 year-old design student from New York City, deeply in debt and plagued by self-doubt, who has landed a coveted internship in Rome that will have her competing with two classmates for a job at a New York fashion label that might be her only chance to make a go of a career in fashion. Shortly after arriving in Rome, Violet falls in a cafe spilling coffee everywhere and breaking a man's laptop. Although she tries to make things right, he's not impressed with her profuse apologies and she later discovers that he is her professor's son, Matt, who will be living in the same house with her for the summer. Violet needs to win this competition to launch her fashion career but sparks fly as she spends more time with Matt and the distraction might cost her the prize. Fun banter and chemistry, fabulous setting (Rome and a weekend trip to Capri), and interesting secondary characters (especially her friend and fellow student Marco) - Ciao For Now is a fun read that will be perfect for the beachbag this summer! In some languages, such as Latvian, the vernacular version of ciao has become the most common form of informal salutation. Ernest Hemingway's novel A Farewell to Arms (1929), which is set in northeast Italy during World War I, is credited with bringing the word into the English language. [4] Usage as greeting [ edit ] If I was to be super specific, I’d probably give this book a 3.25 stars. I wanted to love it SO BADLY because I was taking it with me as my read on my trip to Italy, but ultimately, the amount of things I liked and disliked were about the same.

I am calling it now...."Ciao for Now" by Kate Bromley is going to be in my top books for 2023. I am already adding this novel to my 'All Time Favorites' shelf where it will join one of her other novels "Talk Bookish to Me". Kate Bromley has yet to disappoint me. Her novels are auto-buy for me and I can whole heartedly recommend them to others.! Warning to the current queens of contemporary romance, Kate Bromley is coming for your title! OK....sorry my review turned into a letter to the Kate Bromley fan club..... What Violet doesn't expect is Matteo: her professor’s son. Matteo's immediate contempt and animosity toward Violet is just as palpable as the chemistry between them. Forced to spend the summer together, they find their feelings are shifting from "I can't stand you" to "I can't stand to be away from you."Romanian: ciao ("hello" or "goodbye"); it is often written as ceau although this form is not officially in the Romanian vocabulary French: ciao, tchao, tchô (mostly used to say "goodbye"). "Tchao" is slang in French. In 1983, this word was used in the title of the popular movie Tchao, pantin ( So Long, Stooge). The variant tchô was popularised by the comic book Titeuf Tchô, monde cruel. One of my favorite parts about the story though was that Violet is somewhat older than her classmates and has returned to school to find her passion. Her journey to Rome is also a journey of self discovery. Also, can I start a petition for this to become a full length film?!? Because I’m dying to see these scenes play out in real life! Russian: чау, чао, chao; ("goodbye"); also jokingly - чао-какао, chao-kakao (from чай — "tea" and какао — "cocoa")

Ciao, for now - Idioms by The Free Dictionary

I found myself rooting for Violet throughout the entire book! I felt such a strong connection to her and I absolutely loved her character. Bromley did such a great job painting such a vivid picture of Violet and her life in Rome and beyond. There’s beauty in every inch of a woman. In art, in fashion, in life, there will always be people who want to mold our bodies into ways that will suit them, but this can never be. There is nothing more beautiful and deserving of respect than the shape of a woman.” Unfortunately, on her first day, her coffee run turns into a disastrous meeting with a cute guy - she ends up destroying a brooding stranger's laptop. Her Americano treat and several apologies don't solve the matter. Then she realizes this man is not a stranger - he's the sulking son of a professor and he lives a few feet away from her in the same apartment. Overall, I cannot resist the charm of one of the most spectacular cities in the world. This extremely swoon-worthy, engaging, inspirational romcom is absolutely one of my favorite works by Kate Bromley! This was such a fun read! I love the enemies to lovers and forced proximity tropes so I had a blast following Violet and Matteo as they awkwardly navigated their way around each other, only to, of course since it’s a romance, eventually develop feelings other than hate for one another. I loved both characters and thought they had amazing chemistry.Violet Luciano, a passionate fashion student, is working as an intern at a popular fashion brand in Rome, Italy, and competing with two other classrooms for a job at a New York label. When a coffee mishap involving Matteo, her professor's irritable son, escalates into a series of unfortunate events, Violet finds herself navigating a complicated relationship with someone she can't stand. Since I didn’t want this to end… I would HIGHLY recommend this fantastic book, if you’re looking for a new, fun, modern, romcom, or like me you’re in a constant state of wanderlust. I’d suggest throwing on your favorite Italian music, and pouring yourself a glass of Prosecco, maybe a delicious charcuterie board, because you deserve it. 😉 It almost felt like I was enjoying the hot, sunny streets, of Rome, while reading this.
