Sandra  (readingontheporch) | 269 comments Hi,
I'm pretty sure that this book http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/97... is the Italian translation of an English original by this author http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/... but I can't seem to figure out which one. I've tried Worldcat, Amazon.com and Amazon.de (which carries the Italian version) but I can't seem to find the English Original title to determine which book to combine the translation with. Help?

Vicky (librovert) | 2462 comments I searched Google for L'amore non è il mio forte, and found a reference to it as L'amore non è il mio forte (The Opposite of Me), so I combined them.

A trick you may want to use in the future with regards to translated works, I often times throw the translated version of the description into Google Translate. It doesn't always come out clear - but there is normally enough information to be able to match up the main characters, settings and/or plot points you'll find in the English description! :)
