The characters are witty and love each other only the way a family can. I was touched by the ending. I can't wait to read the next book.

This is the 2nd book in the series starring, Sophie, Max, Jack, and Sophie's crazy but lovable Italian family. The book is written in 1st person from Sophie's point of view. And what a view it is! Max, her recently rescued German Shepherd, has been hired to work in the family restaurant. What comes this employment decision is nothing short of hilarious and charming. Max is smart enough to handle his duties, however, he is still a dog and big dogs come with big appetites. Aside from his antics surrounding his quest for locating and devouring all the food within his reach, Max loves Tilley, a nearly blind 3 month old kitten. I won't ruin the joy of discovering how their friendship grows so please read this book. In addition to the Max/Tilley relationship, we find out more about Jack, Sophie's hunky boyfriend. Lots of heat between those two.
