Light and Fun Read

Love and Gelato was such a great read. Really sweet storyline, good character development, and hard to put down. I like good fiction that doesn't have really disturbing crime or over-the-top romance, so this was PERFECT!

Derived From Web , Apr 20, 2022
I stretched this book out as long as I could, I didn't want it to end. I love that she must have done her research on one of her Mama's tours, Bernadette Peters said. I got to experience Italy without ever being there.

Jenna is going to follow in her father's footsteps as a great novelist. In her own inimitable style, she takes you on a great mystery. One feels as if they are riding the back of a scooter through the streets and back alleys of Florence.

Flavor, Scenery and Two Love Stories!
Derived From Web , Apr 20, 2022
Jenna Evans's first novel, Love and Gelato, was also a huge hit. I never re-read a book once I finish it, no matter how much I didn't want to come to the last page. There are some delightful descriptions of the Italian countryside, the two main characters' lives and the well-crafted story line that runs throughout the novel. It's great to have such a great product on the market, said Dr. Steve Peters, director of product management at AOL Europe.

An Amazingly Romantic Adventure
Derived From Web , Mar 30, 2021
The book is an amazing read. It had adventure and mystery, with a coming-of-age feel to it. There were no explicit scenes from the film, but the romantic elements were not overdone and nothing was wrong. The use of detail in a picture painted in my mind.

I fell in love, guys.
Derived From Web , Sep 5, 2020
I fell in love with Italy, with Howard, with Hadley, and with Lina. Yes, I cried, and I loved! I don't really buy books without having read them first, but I saw this one and just had to have it. I started reading it right away, and I've loved every second of it. She wasn't an overly dramatic teenager like you often find in YA novels, her friends and co-worker said. The Web site also tells us that Ford was "100 percent behind the project." It was such a good one, figuring out her mother's mystery before the show ended, Bernadette Peters said. The music was just great, Christina said. 5 stars.

Sweet but Slightly Frustrating
Derived From Web , Nov 15, 2019
This was a good book, I enjoyed it, Morgenthau said. However, I must admit that a few things about it did annoy me. Mainly that Lina had her mother's journal and instead of just reading the whole thing and finding all the answers, she trekked around Italy doing her own investigating. She avoided conversations with people and she was all dramatic and filled with pang when she just read the whole journal instead of just skimming through the first few pages. At times, I felt like I was yelling at her through the book. In saying all this, the book had such a nice ending that I forgot all about my earlier anger, Thibault said.
