From Wall Street Journal bestselling author L.J. I loved learning a little bit more along the way as well. I loved looking sentences up to find out what they were saying. Italy has always been my top one location to visit, and this book just made me want to go even more (that’s dangerous!).Ĭontinuing on from this thought, I loved the inclusion of Italian language. I loved hearing all the history and the potentially crazy stories of the origins of things. And it drives me insane to know its going to be a while until I can go there for myself. It’s in the perfect setting where the scenery and the tourist attractions are described in such ways I can just picture it in my head so clearly. The best way I can describe Love & Gelato is adorable. If I was her though, forgetting about the father for a moment, I would be totally in heaven. However, Lina doesn’t want to be in Italy and she definitely doesn’t want to get to know her so-called father. She is to get to know her father who she has never met, and along the way, have some fun in a beautiful city. Love & Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch is an adorable read about an American girl, Lina who is sent to Italy on her mother’s dying wish. And so when I had the option to read a book that was set in Italy, and also involves one of my favourite things, love, I jumped at the chance. There’s one place in the world that I am completely obsessed with and seriously want to visit. ***Kindly sent for review from Walker Books Australia in exchange for an honest review*** Mei-Mei’s Lucky Birthday Noodles: A Loving Story of Adoption, Chinese Culture and a Special Birthday TreatĬurtis, Jamie Lee.
