Espresso, Amore & Lost Luggage is a sparkling romantic comedy about friendship, unexpected love, and the unforgettable chaos of traveling through Italy.Claire Miller is an art student who sees the world in sketches and light, while her best friend Sam Johnson prefers sarcasm, headlines, and journalistic truth over sentimentality. Their plan is simple: two weeks in Italy before graduation, filled with museums, pasta, and just enough espresso to keep them awake through every adventure.But travel rarely goes according to plan. A flight delay, lost luggage, and a chance encounter with two British students-charming historian James and witty Oliver-turn a straightforward vacation into a whirlwind of laughter, missteps, and unforgettable moments.From Rome's espresso bars and the chaotic Colosseum to Florence's breathtaking Duomo, Tuscan vineyards, Cinque Terre hikes, and gondola rides through Venetian canals, every stop brings both beauty and disaster. Gelato debates turn into near-romantic confessions, train mishaps lead to deeper connections, and what begins as comedy slowly transforms into something more.Claire finds herself torn between her sketchbook and the possibility of love with James, while Sam discovers that her banter with Oliver might not just be playful sparring after all. Together, the four stumble through misunderstandings, laughter, and late-night revelations that will leave them forever changed.At its heart, Espresso, Amore & Lost Luggage is about more than romance-it's about friendship, the courage to embrace the unexpected, and the way travel teaches us who we really are. It's about finding love not just in people, but in moments: a crowded piazza at sunset, a shared plate of pasta, a goodbye at an airport gate that feels too final, and the letters that follow across the ocean.Perfect for readers who love Love & Gelato, One Italian Summer, or classic rom-coms with a modern twist, this novel will sweep you into the laughter, chaos, and tender emotions of a journey through Italy where every wrong turn leads to something unexpectedly right.If you've ever dreamed of wandering cobblestone streets, debating the best gelato flavor, or falling in love under the Italian sun, this story will feel like your own passport to amore.
