Love And Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch
Nov. 12th, 2017 12:29 amThe Blurb On The Back:
Lina is spending the summer in Tuscany, fulfilling her mother’s dying wish that she should get to know her father. With the help of her mother’s journal, Lina uncovers a magical world of secret romance, art and hidden bakeries. People come to Italy for love and gelato, someone tells her, but sometimes they discover much more.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Jenna Evans Welch’s debut YA romance is a sweet and snappy read with good pacing, some smart one-liners and an interesting main character, which helps to overcome a contrived plot, a mandatory YA love triangle that is only ever going to go one way and an abrupt ending that involves Lina effectively dropping her best friend without any explanation.
