15-year-old Manon Kartika Amalia never asked for a trip to Italy. Sure, Italy has great food, and yeah, her family's stinking rich, but that doesn't mean she's thrilled about spending her summer with them. After all, the only thing more chaotic than her life in America is her insane Italian family.
Her dad, Alessandro, is strict and intimidating (but Manon isn't scared of him). Her grandpa, Matteo, is even stricter, but at least he's fair. Her uncles range from a shy medical student to a temperamental, hot-headed guy who's always on the edge. And don't even get started on her older sister, Bianca, the ultimate mafia princess, who's nice to Manon but manipulative to everyone else.
As soon as Manon lands in Italy, things take a turn for the weird. Between navigating her complicated family dynamics, trying to survive her dad's cold glare, and figuring out what's really going on in the family, Manon can't help but wonder: how did she get stuck in this mess? With a mix of humor, frustration, and an endless supply of pasta, Manon's summer in Italy might turn out to be more than just a chaotic family reunion-if she can survive it.
