Three Coins by Kimberly Sullivan

A romance novel set in Rome about three women who are down on their luck, Kimberly Sullivan’s Three Coins is an impeccable combination of approachable characters and sublime descriptions of Italy. Emma, Tiffany, and Annarita develop a close bond after all staying at the same hotel on vacation, and a 1950s film inspires them to make changes in their personal lives. Seeing these women wrestle through strenuous self-discovery and come out on top is remarkably cathartic, while offering the vicarious thrill of being immersed in Italian ex-pat life.
