Maria Petranelli is prepared for anything (except this)

Chenoweth, Elisa2024
Books
Maria Petranelli will do anything to get away from her overbearing Italian-Australian family. She's over their constant heckling about getting a boyfriend, their unspoken belief that she's not normal, and their loudly spoken belief that she's incapable of doing, well, anything. So when her family declares she 'couldn't handle living in Italy', Maria immediately signs up to go there on student exchange. What could possibly go wrong? Well, everything ... Despite months of mental preparation for every possible scenario, Maria is out of her depth in Italy. She struggles with the language, immediately gets scammed, and is bewildered by her growing attraction to Kennedy, the sweet-but-hopeless American exchange student who is determined to be her friend ... if only Maria would let her. When the two girls accidentally witness a crime, Maria discovers just what she can and can't handle. Being kidnapped in the boot of a car and driven off into the Italian countryside? Maybe. But working out her feelings for Kennedy before it's too late? Maria Petranelli is prepared for anything ... except this.
