I read this in the summer, and it is absolutely a perfect warm weather read, but I honestly love the idea of revisiting a nice cozy warm read like this in the winter - escapism at its finest. Beautiful Ruins is a love story that stretches across countries and years. You'll find yourself in a small coastal Italian village and bustling Hollywood, and you'll meet an equally varying cast of characters. This really is a lush warm read, and not a very long one.
