Publisher's summary

Now a Lifetime original movie.

Sex and the City meets Moonstruck...this first in a new trilogy from Trigiani is sly, sensual and dripping in style.” (People)

Poignant, funny, warm, and red hot, Very Valentine is a wonderful treat for Adriana Trigiani fans - a “delightful” (Boston Globe), “romance-soaked novel” (Marie Claire) from much adored playwright, screenwriter, documentary filmmaker, and New York Times best-selling author of The Shoemaker's Wife, All the Stars in the Heavens, and The Supreme Macaroni Company.

The adventures of an extraordinary and unforgettable woman as she attempts to rescue her family’s struggling shoe business and find love at the same time, Very Valentine sweeps the listener from the streets of Manhattan to the picturesque hills of Italy. Here is yet another novel from the incomparable Trigiani that will steal your heart.

Easy listening romance

What a fun book! The family dynamics are a hoot during the many gatherings of this Italian family. A well developed story with characters who are also well rounded. It’s a tasteful romance novel with a whole lot of family situations. I immediately got book two in this series when I finished this one. Excellent narration!

Truly, enjoyable

This is the first book I’ve read by this author, and was truly impressed with her writing, and also the narration.
Loved the homage to family and family history. A certain sweetness in her story that I truly appreciated.

Wow what a story!

I think I want to become a cobbler. Great story. Loved all the characters. It was great to read about a woman who wants a successful career. Looking forward to reading book 2.

One of Adriana Trigiani's Best

This story is a reflection of Adriana Trigiani at her very best . A novel with deep Italian roots of love, family challenges and perseverance. The Hallmark of her writings which I love the most. Would be on her bestseller list in my book. *****

So enjoyable

Loved it & how the author brought the characters to life. I could almost feel the sea breeze & smell the leather.

Being from Italy & knowing the areas talked about in the book, made me very nostalgic.

Meh... that's all I can say

Reader did a nice job but not impressed with the author.
Storyline was ok but author dragged on and on and on for things like the room decor, characters reflection of a situation, the food they were eating, and everything else. Found myself saying “c’mon, get on with it” often as I was listening.
