We are able to discover a new country alongside Lina, sharing in her wonder as she gets to know somewhere thoroughly different from Seattle, her home back in America. Let me start by taking a moment to admire this book's setting - if you're someone who loves to travel through books, then I can highly recommend this one. She is aided on this quest by a journal her Mom left her, documenting the year she met Lina's father whilst studying photography in Florence. The novel tells the story of Lina, a teenager who fulfils her dying Mother's wish by spending a summer in Tuscany, conveniently staying just outside of Florence, getting to know the father she has never known. I picked up Love & Gelato in hope of a light-hearted summery read, with an added draw being that the action takes place in Italy, a favourite country of mine, and that's exactly what I got. Perfect for anyone who loves either romance novels or exploring new locations via books. Summary: A light-hearted, summery tale of love, loss and self-discovery set against the beautiful backdrop of Florence.
