Synopsis

Would wonderful beaches, great sunsets, wild friends, endless cocktails, and fabulous food be enough to keep this relationship together?

Annette Joseph's years in Italy revealed this truth: Italy, in all its multifaceted, glorious history and culture has to be experienced in full. Over almost three decades, Italy has fed, entertained, confused, excited, lured, promised, lied, satisfied, occasionally disappointed, and utterly enchanted her. She's left, but can't stay away—she'll always return. Always. Just like a beloved partner . . .

Italy Is My Boyfriend will take you through the journey of finding love, life, and a sense of home. While often times a lonely, challenging place, never once did the love for this special place waiver. See how one very determined lady finds her dream place in the Tuscan sun.

This was such a welcome surprise. It was much needed too. I badly miss travelling and this sort of satisfied that craving. And now Italy is definitely on the list of the countries which I want to visit. If you want to visit Italy, settle in Italy or simply want to read a well written memoir, then pi......more

Goodreads review by Lisa on July 04, 2024

Some of the bits about Italy were interesting. I found the author to be mean and judgmental about her guests. I get it some people may act badly but to basically put them in your memoir book seems just mean spirited. Does she have nothing better to include? I’ve never read a book before where I deve......more

Goodreads review by Becky on December 10, 2022

This is a memoir about an American woman who loves Italy and chronicles her experience vacationing and buying a flat and then a property there. The interesting part of the book was how different buying real estate is in Italy compared to the states. I prefer travel memoirs that get into what locals......more
