Product Description

On the advice of a Jesus-loving taxi driver while on the New Jersey Turnpike, Christine leaves Pavlov Memento, her deeply flawed boyfriend of seven years, two days before moving to Italy. She nurses her heartbreak in an empty palazzo by the sea; then, with the help of her new friends - a group of men who call themselves the gay mafia - she moves to Rome and her new life begins. Follow her as she meets her First Italian, the Cheese Lady; Alessio, the handsome landlord; The Count, who whisks her away to Venice for Carnivale; and finally Cal, the Parisian-born Jersey boy living a parallel existence in the South of France who will change her life. But everything goes awry when she's forced to move back to New York, and she searches desperately for a way to return to Rome, Cal, and her beloved gay mafia. Will she succeed? Christine's real-life tale will make you laugh, make you hungry - and make you follow your dreams to the arrivals gate at your favorite destination.

Miss Ex rocks!
For every American woman who has ever wanted to get the hell out of the US and go live la dolce vita...Miss Expatria did it. With her Gay Mafia to show her the ropes of living in Italy and provide comfort, love, and language lessons, Christine Cantera writes exuberantly about her new life in the old world, why every Italian meal is the best meal she ever ate, and finding love at the cyber cafe.

Dream life
Miss Expatria takes you on a journey of a dream life - but it's real! When I finished it, I bought another copy for a gift and now eagerly await the sequel! What a great movie this would make.
