A Wedding in Lake Como (Meet Me in Italy)

Another beautifully written novel by Jennifer Probst, A Wedding in Lake Como takes readers through the past and the present of three best friends, Maddie, Ava, and Chelsea. Ava is a wealthy only child who, although she seems always to get her way, is giving and loving in every way. Maddie, the narrator of the story, is shy but, with the help of her two friends, builds the confidence to become a major social media fashion influencer. And Chelsea, the friend with the least drama seems to act like the glue between Ava and Maddie.

In college, the three women spend all their time together planning the future. Maddie meets Riggs whom she falls head over heels for and the other two casually date. Then something unspeakable happens and Maddie stops all communication with everyone. She throws herself into her work. Five years later, Maddie is invited to Ava’s wedding in Italy and is torn in her decision to go.

I love how Probst pieces her novels together. The pace is perfect with just the right amount of details but without compromising the intrigue of the plot. The characters are descriptive and complex like a fine bottle of wine. It was easy to get lost in this novel as I was reading it and I recommend it to fans of books about close friendships, love, and forgiveness.
