The Renaissance Club - Rachel Dacus

I loved this book! I have always dreamed of visiting Italy, mostly for the food, but am now just as excited to go and experience the art!
Dacus provides beautiful descriptions of architecture, paintings and sculptures as she leads us through a tour of various cities. She brings the artists and sculptors to life in ways that allow us to better interpret their masterpieces - what they felt, what they thought, what they desired when creating them.
The tug of war between May's relationship with Darren and her seemingly impossible romance with Bernini keeps you engaged throughout the book. I found her struggle to find where she belongs in the world very relatable! Wouldn't we all love the chance to go to another place and another time, and try to rewrite the past?
This book was a quick and easy read, and one that any lover of art, travel and romance will enjoy!
