Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books Love & Gelato (Love & Gelato #1)
“I made the wrong choice.”Lina is spending the summer in Tuscany, but she isn’t in the mood for Italy’s famous sunshine and fairy-tale landscape. She’s only there because it was her mother’s dying wish that she get to know her father. But what kind of father isn’t around for sixteen years? All Lina wants to do is get back home.
But then she is given a journal that her mom had kept when she lived in Italy. Suddenly Lina’s uncovering a magical world of secret romances, art, and hidden bakeries. A world that inspires Lina, along with the ever-so-charming Ren, to follow in her mother’s footsteps and unearth a secret that has been kept for far too long. It’s a secret that will change everything she knew about her mother, her father—and even herself.
People come to Italy for love and gelato, someone tells her, but sometimes they discover much more.

This was a cute story about a girl finding a way to move on with life after losing her mother. Lina made a promise to her dying mother, finding herself in Italy with a father she had never met. Linas experience tugged at all the right strings for me.What brought my overall enjoyment down, though, was the diary her mother left for her. Actually, thats not true. The diary itself didnt bother me, especially once the story came full circle. No, what drove me bananas was the way Lina chose to read it"You know, people come to Italy for all sorts of reasons, but when they stay, it's for the same two things...love and gelato."Lina is only in Italy because of a promise she made to her mother on her deathbed.She isn't moved by the country's beautyshe's having too difficult a time dealing with the fact that she's going to be living WITH HER FATHER (about whom she never knew anything), much less living in a house in the midst of a famous cemetery, because he is the caretaker.Why didn't her mother
Super Sweet 💕🦄Happy Reading! Mel 🖤🐺🐾
This was pretty damn cute, you guys. All I want to do now is go to Italy and fall in love with some Nutella pastries. Insert gif of Emma Stone saying YUM here.
DNF @ 10%I will be displaying my emotions through Ron Swanson gifs.Love and Gelato was a book I desperately wanted to love. I mean, the set up was perfect. Italy, love and gelato (which I've never actually had but it sounds good). Italy is a destination I have always wanted to travel, and how could you not with all the culture present in the cities. However, as I began to read this book I knew it wasn't going to be a finish for me. Why? Well, the writing just jumped straight into the plot

"You know, people come to Italy for all sorts of reasons, but when they stay, it's for the same two things.""What?""Love and gelato." When 16-year old Linas mother passes away from pancreatic cancer, she is encouraged by her grandmother to spend the summer in Tuscany in order to get to know Howard a father she never even knew existed. Lina would have never guessed shed
