Synopsis – Dolce Vita Divas
Sunshine, Sisterhood, and Second Chances
At the ripe (and fabulous) age of 64, Joanna Dawson finds herself feeling ever so slightly… meh. Her husband, Greg, has run off with a TBT (thin, blonde, trollop, obviously), her kids have flown the nest, and her social calendar is emptier than her wine rack.
As Jo’s 65th birthday looms, she’s left wondering: Is this it?
Enter Susie, her best friend, with an offer Jo can’t quite refuse: an all-expenses-paid trip to Italy to honour their late friend Ellen. Jo’s not sure she wants to go all the way to Italy, but with nothing else to do and if only to make Susie happy, she agrees. A holiday is a holiday after all.
Capri is even more gorgeous than Jo imagined and soon she and Susie are having the time of their life, especially as Jo is reunited with her dashing first love, Paulo. The one who, most definitely, got away…
Things might have fizzled with Paulo decades ago, but in the land of sun, pasta, and far too much wine, Jo begins to wonder: Could this be her second chance at life…and amore?
Pack your bags for a heartwarming, fun, and sun-drenched adventure as Jo discovers that life after 64 might just be the most exciting chapter yet.

My Review
Dolce Vita Divas is the third book I have read by this author. I enjoy that features older women characters enjoying life. It’s nice to see middle aged and above characters being portrayed as full of vitality.
Dolce Vita Divas is light and fun and quite funny. I chuckled several times while reading.
It is predictable in many ways but that didn’t stop me from enjoying watching how the story unfolded.
If you are a fan of women’s fiction then I definitely think you should give this book a shot.
