All Roads Lead to Rome

Praise for Yamile Saied Méndez

“A tender, appealing romantic drama from Reese’s Book Club author Yamile Saied Méndez. Powerhouse saleswoman Stevie Choi hides gaping emotional wounds behind her glossy surface success, still haunted by the tragedy that tore her life apart as a teenager. Thrown together with bad boy acquaintance Cristian at a destination wedding in Rome, Stevie finds an unexpected kindred spirit and their blossoming long-distance friendship gives her the first inklings of finding a more authentic life for herself. But Stevie has to do a lot of soul searching before she can accept Cristian’s love and watching her grow slowly along the path to healing is the book’s real joy.” —Kate Quinn, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author on All Roads Lead to Rome
