But considering the fact that I know next to nothing about the Italian American culture, I'd probably not read it. The review does however bring light to it so thank you.
Thanks for your comment.

There's something about seeing things from another perspective in the day-to-day that influences how we see our own lives. It makes the world seem a little smaller and a little better I think.
Thanks for sharing.

You're welcome. I appreciate your comment.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Incidentally, an earlier edition of this book was reviewed by other reviewers who liked it and gave it a good rating, but who also suggested it could be improved with another round of editing to get it to have that highest quality polished feel. The author/publisher then edited it based on the feedback from our team and re-submitted it for review, earning this full 4/4 rating. I think this is really cool for a few reasons. For one, our own community has had a small indirect hand in helping craft this excellent top-rated book, which is pretty cool. Also, I think we should appreciate the author for highly valuing and acting on the feedback from our Review Team. :)
What a cool thing to have happen!

I love your review and this sounds like a very charming book. I don't often read short stories, but I really should. I love to learn about other people. It would be cool if the author could narrate them. I also don't typically do audiobooks but I feel like this would be a neat one to listen to.

I love a feel good story every once and a while- this sounds like it has quite a few bundled up in one book! I think theres something special about the idea of nostalgia, even if its being seen through someone elses eyes.
