A heartbroken New Yorker. A scandalous Italian road trip. A once-in-a-lifetime shot at fashion fame.

Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Lauren Weisberger, and anyone who loves travel, transformation, and triumph in designer heels, this is a romantic, laugh-out-loud journey of fashion, flair, and fierce self-redesign.

Fresh off a breakup with her cheating Italian boyfriend in Como, 24-year-old New Yorker Jayne is emotionally fried and financially...let’s just say her wallet is crying in five languages. She’s got two options: fly home to Manhattan and face her sister’s smug “I told you so,” or stick it out in the land of la dolce chaos and chase her fashion dreams.

Naturally, she chooses the messier option.

But Milan doesn’t exactly roll out the red carpet. Her savings are toast, her confidence is unraveling, and she’s one espresso away from a meltdown. Out of options, she accepts a ridiculous job offer from the deliciously difficult Countess Electra di Caneva: part-nanny, part-chauffeur on a road trip through castles, beaches, and family drama fit for reality TV.

Then—just before leaving—fate drops a golden chance to impress Italy’s chicest fashion house: IF she can create a mood board inspired by her journey. No pressure.

Between diva demands, couture-level chaos, and an unexpected flirtation that feels suspiciously real, Jayne’s summer detour through gelato paradise becomes something else entirely: a messy, hilarious crash course in becoming the heroine of her own life.

Pack your bags—it’s going to be a wild ride.
