Publisher's summary

A secret romance sends three estranged sisters to the Amalfi Coast to follow clues about their mother’s past, and challenges them to a whole new future, in this emotional novel from New York Times best-selling author Jennifer Probst.

Priscilla, Devon, and Bailey haven’t been close in years, but when the sisters are forced to come together to settle their mother’s estate, they discover a secret. In an old trunk, they happen upon ownership papers for a house on the Amalfi Coast, along with a love letter to their mother from an anonymous man, promising to meet her in Italy during the summer of her 65th birthday.

Now they’re questioning everything they knew about her history. In order to get answers about the woman they thought they knew, they’ll have to go back to where it all started. The sisters embark on a trip to the stunning cliffside village of Positano, Italy, to track down the mysterious ex-lover and figure out who their mother really was.

As Priscilla, Devon, and Bailey unearth the truth, they also experience the magic of Italy, the power of sisterly love, a little unexpected romance, and newfound hope for the future.

love letters

The Secret Love Letters of Olivia Moretti is so much more than just love letters. It's 3 sisters learning who they while trying to uncover a love affair of their mothers. Priscilla, Devon & Bailey have lost the closeness they once shared as sisters over the years when their lives are all taken in different direction. After the death of their mother Olivia, they discover a whole different life their mother had at one time through her love letters as well as finding out about a house they own in Italy. There is so much more to Italy than just the house and an old love story. Jennifer Probst takes us on a journey of self-discovery for these sisters while also tracking a past that their mother never discussed. This is such a well written book and really makes you think about how everything we do in life and experience is a steppingstone in our paths of life.

Timeless, unegrettable love

The span of time and detail was captivating. I’ve been to Italy a few times and I could see every detail in my mind.

I felt like I was there

This is the second book I’ve listened to by Jennifer Probst, and she pulls me in! While I was listening I sent my sister a text to see if they thought we had…well I don’t want to give anything away. Jennifer makes you feel like you are in Italy, living every emotion right along with the characters. I want to live an Italian summer, and an Italian romance after hearing this book! The narrators are stars, and their reading is spot on for what I imagine for these charters.

Good and Bad for both the storied and narrators

I enjoyed the story of the three sisters and their journeys to figure out their lives and relationships. I really loved the character of Rafael (who was almost impossibly wise and understanding beyond his years), but I really didn’t like the character of Olivia or her decisions. Since their story was the main story of the book, That was a problem. The narrators were also a mixed bag. Not a one of them could do an authentic Italian accent and the one that read for the three sisters could not pronounce spaghetti Bolognese anywhere close to how you actually pronounce it. It sounded like a totally different second word. The story brought the beauty of the Amalfi coast to life, but it definitely had some inaccuracies. There were definitely parts that I enjoyed but overall it was just okay.

Meh….

The book and character’s story was pretty cliché and without much depth. This story and setting had potential but the character development was really lacking for me. I finished the book because it was for my Book Club, but would not have otherwise.

Great narrators

I loved Ann Marie Lee as Olivia! There are some negative reviews on her being to dramatic but I thought she actually preformed the character of Olivia.

Therese Plummer Magnificent as always!

Story was good, but Therese Plummer's narration saved the story. Other female narration not so good.

I cried near the end…

… As if the characters were family. Such a great mother - daughters & sisters story along with the typical love in Italy storyline.
