In serious need of some escapism. I’m watching this reality series about a group of friends enjoying the end of a warm Tuscan summer – which sounds like heaven right now, but my (and my friends’) schedule will not allow for long holiday for a while yet.
Are there any slice of life type novels that tell this sort of story? I read mostly literary fiction, which is probably the most fitting genre for what I’m after anyways.
In terms of setting… I’d prefer European over American. Eve Babitz’s Slow Days, Fast Company comes to mind but it’s mostly set in LA I believe? which doesn’t interest me right now.
I’m in the mood to read about a group of friends making the time to enjoy their friendship and each other, away from their demanding studies/jobs, on a vacation that feels like a breath of fresh air.
No YA/middle grade and no big adventure stories either please.
Thank you for any recs!!
