5/29/2023 0 Comments Gelato bookI felt compelled to keep reading even though there’s not a lot that initially happens compared to some books I’m used to. I’m not a big reader of romance novels but this one is just so heartwarming. I’m surprised by how much I enjoyed reading this. The rest of the book is a combination of both Lina’s story and her mother’s journal entries, which act like a second story. The tale quickly moves forward when Lina finds out about her mother’s journal, the one she kept when she had been in Florence herself, before Lina was born. The story is told in the first person and after a brief prologue where Lina’s mother explains her wish to her, the story begins with Lina arriving in Florence and getting to know her new surroundings. Lina’s mother tells her she wants her to move to Florence to be with her father, Howard, but Lina doesn’t know Howard, her mother never even mentioned him until now. Review: I can’t believe how much I enjoyed this book! ‘Love & Gelato’ is a YA romance/contemporary novel with a feel-good story. *Free copy provided by publisher for review… People come to Italy for love and gelato, someone tells her, but sometimes they discover much more. With the help of her mother’s journal, Lina uncovers a magical world of secret romance, art and hidden bakeries. Description: Lina is spending the summer in Tuscany, fulfilling her mother’s dying wish that she should get to know her father.
