Can’t seem to find the time to book a flight to Italy this summer? It might be time to live vicariously through our main character Ava, who finds herself spending the entire summer in Italy gathering her last few law school credits. On a ‘break’ from her almost-fiancé, she’s met with the intense and attractive James as her airport chauffeur and the rest of the summer will never be the same.
