I was expecting a cute YA romance but this was SO MUCH MORE. The author wrote about emotions and described emotions in a beautiful way. I’ve never read a romance novel that dealt with grief in such an honest, genuine way while remaining lighthearted and hopeful.

I thought some of the relationship drama at the end was a little silly, but we are talking about two 17 year olds so honestly that tracks.

"So this is the Italy people were always talking about. No wonder people were always losing their minds over it."

" 'You know, people come to Italy for all sorts of reasons, but when they stay is for the same two things' 'What?' 'Love and gelato' "

I read this book in Italy and I'm so glad I did, even tho I wasn't in Florence, I visited lots of cities in the north of Italy and some descriptions matched those cities perfectly. also one fun fact, I went by an RV and I can tell you that the joke about the way Italians drive is absolutely accurate 💀 but I also found some things in here that are not true about Italy, for example this books says they don't have a drinking age but they do, it's 18 years old like most if not all European countries and they mentioned like 2 or 3 times that it doesn't have "cutting edge technology", honestly what Italy are you at? that made it sound like Italy is a third world country 😭 and there were a few other small things, but besides that this book is absolutely adorable.

I loved all the main characters, they are all so cute and I loved Lina's relationship with and Ren and Howard, Howard was so adorable.

Super cute and fun story.

It was funny in parts, moving in parts, and a story about finding who you are and falling in love. Almost like all the stories rolled into one, and done beautifully.

Contains grief, a few tame kissing scenes, and an attempted assault.
