Christmas is filled with beloved and long-kept traditions, but sometimes, there’s nothing better than creating brand-new ones. That’s why Francesca and her high school friends Amy, Rachael, and Nina are traveling to Italy to spend the holidays with Frankie’s boyfriend, Giovanni, and his family.

Giovanni and his brother, Marco, run a small Italian restaurant in Manhattan, where cherished family recipes delight tourists and locals alike. But there’s one recipe that eludes the brothers. Their mama refuses to divulge the secret behind her coveted panettone, claiming it is “Santa’s secret.”

While Frankie joins Giovanni and Marco in the kitchen, hoping to uncover the mystery of Mrs. Lombardi’s mouthwatering panettone, Amy, Nina, and Rachael are on their own quests. Amy wants to see the sights, Nina needs career inspiration, and Rachael longs to meet some eligible Italian men.

Santa’s Secret is out!

This is the end of the three-book series, with Frankie and her gang ending up in Italy over the holidays. I enjoyed the description of traditional Italian holidays. I am sure some things were missing, but it was an easy read and fun, like the first two.

Love these women,!

Great fun, lovely friends. Would love to partake in their shenanigans! Great narrator. She has such a mastery of accents. Brava!
