(Love and Gelato #1)
Love and Gelato is a romance novel with a hint of mystery. Lina is a 16 year old girl who travels to Italy because it was her mother’s dying wish. We follow Lina through her summer in Tuscany, Italy as she navigates life with Howard who was her mother’s friend from college whom she’s never met until that summer. Lina is placed to live with Howard for the summer as she’s never met her father. As she wanders around her Howards property in Italy she meets Ren. Ren is a charming and charismatic boy who helps her to navigate her mystery of finding out who her father is. While they navigate this journey they discover places her mother had once loved in Italy and slowly start to gain feelings for each other.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a light romance novel. The setting makes the novel a fun and vibrant read that can easily be enjoyed. The characters are easily likeable, so you never become too frustrated with their choices. As well, there is a mystery plot line that follows throughout most of the novel. I wouldn’t recommend this book to someone who isn’t crazy about simple storylines. The only true thing that I disliked about the novel is that it left me craving a true Italian Gelato.
