Love & Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Love and Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch is the perfect book for the non-perfect reader. As someone who struggles with finding the motivation to pick up a book and the time to read, this book is a winner and a real page turner! As a realistic fiction novel , it plays very well to the teen-girl audience and delivers an entertaining story about loss, love, and friendship.

Lina, a kind- hearted girl who just lost her mother, travels to Italy to live with her mom’s friend which leads to her finding closure on her mom's death and a new definition of family.

While other books may have better quality writing or character development, I couldn't wait till I picked up the book before I went to bed. I would be exhausted, but I would just keep reading because of the great descriptions of beautiful Italy, plot twists, and honest characters. This book is a perfect escape from reality.
