i honestly don’t know what to think, i kinda like it but i guess it was just not for me.
i really couldn’t connect to the characters like i usually do and the story was not that good.
2/5

Unfortunately this was not the book for me. I really enjoyed the very beginning and the setup of why the character was there but could not get into the relationship Josie and Leo. Maybe it as due to how Josie referred to the characters or how Leo came off a little creepy and annoying at first. As someone who has experienced traveling in hostels this felt really uncomfortable rather than sweet. I made it only part of the way through the book as I couldn't feel the chemistry between the characters and thus had a hard time connecting to the story.

Thanks to NetGalley and the author for send me a digital copy of the book in exhange of an honest review.
Pucha, mi experiencia con esta lectura fue en su mayoría "meh", lo que significa que no logré conectar con los personajes ni con sus conflictos en la historia. Primero pensé que esto ocurría por el poco contexto que se tenía de cada uno, sin embargo, en la segunda mitad de la historia SÍ se muestra un poco más de las vidas de los personajes (principalmente de Josie), y aún así no conecté con ellos.
Fuera de eso, y pese a que rara vez dejo un libro sin terminar, porque la curiosidad sobre lo que va a ocurrir es mayor que todo. Esta vez, eran pocas las ganas que tenía de continuar la lectura, al menos durante los primeros 2 tercios del libro. En fin, sí lo terminé, pero no me gustó tanto. Ahora, mis apreciaciones al respecto:
-Son chilena (de Chile), y aunque el co-protagonista, el interés amoroso es "chileno", no lo parece. Algunas de sus expresiones me parecieron forzadas. Y a ratos sentí que pudo ser de cualquier país de América Latina, y hubiera dado igual.
- Las inseguridades de la prota eran muchas, pero las olvidaba durante varias páginas cuando estaba con Leo, por arte de magia, y a solo horas de conocerlo.
-El instalove (amor instantáneo, o amor a primera vista) en la historia está intenso. Los personajes no alcanzan a conocerse ni 24 horas y ya se sienten sumamente atraídos el uno al otro (más Leo que Josie), uno de ellos incluso declara que si pierde el contacto con el otro, dejará pasar al amor de su vida... Era mucho drama para mí la verdad.
En fin, tiene sus cositas buenas el libro, está bien escrito, y las personalidades de los protagonistas sí son distintas cuando tienen sus POV de narración.
Recomiendo la historia solo si estás dispuesto a encontrarte en ella con exactamente lo mismo que promete el título, "Solo una noche en Roma".

This was a cute, fun romance that I fond myself kicking my feet and giggling at. I am adding it to my bookstore order for us to start selling :)

Wow! This book is absolutely amazing. The descriptions are so touching and vivid. As soon as I started reading it I couldn't put it down. I recommend this book to every other reader out there.

This wasn't exactly the cute fluffy romance I thought it was. The instalove was a bit much, but the characters were cute. My favorite part was when Josie and Leo kept asking each other questions, and that was pretty much the main plotline of the book. I think my main issue was that the translation was a bit rocky.

Thanks to Netgally for giving me early access to an
ARC in exchange of an honest review!!! Meh, the translation was terrible 😭 the story was very ordinary, skipped some (many) parts, very boring. Overall didn’t like it

I was not able to finish the book and therefore do not feel that I can give an unbiased review about the book, its plot, characters, or the author's work. I might revisit this book at a later time and finish it then, but not right now.

RATING: 3🌟
Review: A quick little cutsey read! I liked how quick it was for the romance to happen, but that ending made me a tiny bit mad (I know, there's a second book, but I really don't like open endings). Apart from that, I think that the story dragged a bit sometimes, and the other times the whole romance was a bit too quick and rushed. But to be honest, this made me read it quickly, even as busy as I currently am.
I'd recommend it if you really want a quick read, but honestly it was a bit forgettable...
I really appreciated reading a book written by a German author, and I loved the Harry Potter and Taylor Swift mentions, as well as the spotify playlists!

The book was captivating as were the characters. It had me hooked till the end. I will definitely recommend it to people of the same age group as mine, however for students, it's a little too much.

I have some mixed feelings about this books. I think the plot is adorable and I know many people I would want to recommend it to. However, for me, I was a bit disconnected. I think I just didn't like the characters. I don't think they were bad characters, I just wouldn't be friends with them if they were real, ya know? Either way I was glad to watch them find happiness. And if this book interest you I highly suggest you give it a try.

Definitely had potential but ultimately fell a little flat for me. I liked the premise but I was bored and found myself skimming.

Who doesnt love love books about getting away and not expecting to be with anyone. Because that is what the main character Josie was doing. She was leaving for Rome to get away from her ex and men. Just had enough. But she doesnt expect to find someone to catch her eye. Starting a romance with a guy you barely know and it could possibly be the best you have ever done. Reading the story between Josie and Leo was just beautiful its a wonderful romance set in Rome. Its beautiful and very well written. I recommend this i will read again for sure.

I loved this!!!! It was such a fun read and really enjoyable. I definitely recommend it. Thanks so much to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC on exchange for an honest review.

OKAY BUT FINDING LOVE IN ITALY?!?!!??!
I think I need to book my trip it Italy!!!!
Josie just wanted to rid of her worries and stress of men.
Leo causually backpacking in Italy and running into Josie = love at first sight.
I wish there was more chemistry connection between these 2 but i loved the concept of the storyline. Everyone would love to have a overseas love in a new beautiful location.

The book "Just One Night in Rome" was sadly a little disappointing. It consists of two parts, the first part takes place in Rome, the second part the two main characters where seperated from each other. The first part was a little boring in my opinion. I would have wished to see more of Rome instead just reading about the conversation they had for 200 pages. The second part was better, but the ending was a little weird.

I enjoyed this and really had a good time reading it. I read this quickly and highly enjoyed it.
I just reviewed Just One Night in Rome by Tiziana Olbrich. #NetGalley

I think the author had a really good concept for the book and the story seemed good but there were some details in there that weren’t exactly what the book needed to develop the storyline to its fullest, the idea was great and I got to enjoy reading the book, it’s just that this book had so much more potential if it were to have more details and more of the story itself.
In the book we see Josie a girl who has decided to go in a spontaneous trip to Rome after having some troubles with her boyfriend, so she could distract herself and feel better, at the hostel she meets a guy named Leo who wants her to enjoy the trip and explore the city, we get to see how their story goes from there. A cute and light romance read to spend an afternoon reading.

Josie thinks she can escape her problem with a trip to Rome to help forget and heal from her past. But the unexpected happens when she arrives and she is force to share a hostel with a cute boy named Leo. They start a friendly while exploring but then it turns into more of a love connection. While Josie is trying to heal and escape she falls in love with Leo who is a cute Latino and sparks fly between the two of them.

If you’re looking for an easy-to-read story that’s light and will make you happy, this is it. The first book in a duo-logy, Just One Night in Rome by Tiziana Olbrich is one of those reads that has you thinking it’s too unreal to happen in real life, and then you find out it happened to the author. Are you hooked yet?
Meet Lily. She crosses paths with a man named Matteo one night in Rome. Readers are then taken on an Italian journey so descriptive, you feel like you’re there with the characters. Infused with genuine emotions, twists, and cobblestone lanes (do not wear heels on these streets, I repeat, do NOT), the author will keep you entertained until the final sentence.
I truly loved how you could feel the heart and connection Olbrich has with the story. I enjoyed learning more about the Italian, Chilean, and German cultures and this book really spoke true of the hostel lifestyle. I cannot wait for the next installment… I need to know what happens next! Don’t let the familiar chance meeting narrative fool you, this is a fresh read for everyone.
