I had the pleasure of diving into Katie Cotugno's heartwarming novel, "Meet the Benedettos," and I can't help but sing its praises. This beautifully crafted story takes readers on an emotional journey that explores the intricacies of love, the importance of family, and the power of self-discovery. From the very first page, Cotugno's masterful storytelling skillfully draws you in and leaves you longing for more.

Meet the Benedettos is a thoroughly modern and refreshing tale that challenges stereotypes and explores the true essence of love and family. Katie Cotugno has crafted a brilliant novel that will make you laugh, tug at your heartstrings, and leave you pondering the power of connections forged in the most unlikely circumstances. If you're searching for a compelling, thought-provoking read that will leave you with a warm, fuzzy feeling long after you've turned the last page, look no further "Meet the Benedettos” is the book for you.

I absolutely loved reading this book. I was completely drawn into the topic and could not stop reading it.

I so immensely enjoyed, devoured, and loved every bit of living in the world of MEET THE BENEDETTOS. Between the sharp humor and banter, the dynamic and bond between the Benedetto sisters, and the undeniable connection between Lilly and Will, I never wanted this book to end. Even as someone who doesn't care for the Kardashian family, I loved every minute of the dive in to the eclectic and lovable Benedetto family, their flaws, their complexities, their humanness. I was hooked from the first page and deeply invested in all of the characters.

I am so happy to have witnessed Lilly and Will's story and the romance that not only doesn't fizzle but seems to ignite despite the events against them. A story of love, yes, but also family... the glue that holds us together.

So tastefully written with such a strong and refreshing voice, I cannot wait to read whatever the author may grant us with next.

Thank you to Harper Perennial and Paperbacks and NetGalley for the digital ARC for my honest review.
