“There are only a handful of authors that I can always count on to deliver emotionally satisfying stories that beg to be read in a single sitting, and Catherine Bybee is one of those rare authors for me. Her knack for creating vivid, endearing characters always shines in her stories, and this is especially true of her newest release.”
—NATASHA IS A BOOK JUNKIE

“What a wonderfully moving book. You know you’re reading a fantastic author when you simply can’t put the book down; I was fully immersed in Little Italy and wishing I was eating creamy pasta. The D’Angelo family is lovely, so close and lovely…”
—SUSANNE’S READER BLOG
“Bybee writes a superb story addressing the hardships adult children face with parents entering the struggles of being unable to care for themselves and mad they can’t; tenderly addresses childhood issues faced when innocent kids have selfish parents; and affectionately entertains with the big fun Italian loving family. Highly recommend.”

“WHEN IT FALLS APART is so emotional, but the author tempers that with lightness and humor and plenty of Oh So Swoony Romance!!!”
—BOOKS AND TEQUILA
“This story felt much rooted in reality and what so many people are going through. Caring for an aging loved one – and having to give up some of your own life along the way. Or sharing children with an ex, and having to standby and watch that person not care for your shared child the way you’d like them to. I deeply appreciated how real these things felt and were handled by the characters. It showed how our family ties – both chosen and blood can really impact our lives and decisions.”
—STEPHANIE PANACH, GOODREADS
“Bybee’s new book has everything that will make a book epically fantastic. Heartbreak, emotions, a charming Italian hero, cute adorable kid, a heartwarming love story, drama, and one big Italian family that thinks food cures everything … This book is not just romance, it is a journey about trust, patience, and being strong.”
—LIVELYREADS

“Catherine Bybee’s new book is about the relationship between children and parents—good, bad, selfish, concerned and indifferent. It deals with the insecurities and longings of children of divorced parents, especially those who were abandoned by a parent … Uplifting, inspiring, and a very find read because of the warmth of a big Italian family that takes center stage. Most highly recommended.”
