» PLOT «

After her mother passes away, Lina spends the summer in Tuscany, fulfilling her mother's dying wish of spending time with the man she loved in the past. Armed with her mother's journal, Lina discovers more about her mother's life before she was born. As secrets and romances bloom, not everything is what Lina imagined it to be.

The romance in this book was less of a focus, and normally that wouldn't be a bad thing, but in this case, it made the book bland.

The part with

Lina's paternity

was interesting, but it was short and underdeveloped.

» READABILITY «

At this point, contemporary romance has become too plain and boring for me to immerse myself into the book. The book felt slow to medium paced.

» CHARACTERS «

I didn't like any of the characters in this book. Nothing really made any of them special or relatable.

» WRITING «

The writing is pretty plain, nothing special.

» OVERALL «

I think I need to take a break from contemporary romance. This book was too boring and plain for me to want to read more books like it.

The moment is the book where they actually say "love and gelato" was the worst. Yikes.
