 Postcards from Venice

Skyler’s life is about to take a thrilling turn as she goes on the biggest adventure she has ever had. Her mother’s relocation to the popular city of Venice, Italy, opens up a world of possibilities for Skyler.

As she settles into her new surroundings, she seizes the opportunity to take on an informal internship and share her experiences through blogging. Little does she know that this position could be the stepping stone to even greater opportunities if she excels.

Amidst the excitement, Skyler finds herself facing unexpected challenges. One of her fellow interns, Logan, catches her eye with his cool Australian charm. However, the other intern, Zara, seems determined to undermine Skyler’s chances of success. With a significant assignment looming ahead, Skyler feels overwhelmed and unsure of how to proceed. She longs for someone to confide in, and the first person who comes to mind is her best friend, Ella, who is unfortunately miles away.

Skyler and Ella had a falling out after a summer bucket list that didn’t go as planned. Despite the distance, technology provides them with a chance to mend their friendship. Skyler knows that Ella holds the key to overcoming her writer’s block and finding the inspiration she needs.

However, as Skyler’s writing mistakes begin to accumulate, she starts doubting her abilities. With the help of some Italian magic and the unwavering support of her oldest friend, Skyler steps aboard a life of self-discovery, learning to appreciate her new city and stay connected to what truly matters in her life. “Postcards from Venice” is a companion to “The BFF Bucket List,” showcasing the power of friendship and the resilience of the human spirit.
