Este es el tipo de romance que me hubiera gustado encontrar más seguido en la secundaria. ¿Levemente cliché? ¿Empalagoso? Quizás. Pero sano, lleno de vida, de esperanza.
Y NI SIQUIERA ES EL ELEMENTO PRINCIPAL DEL LIBRO.
La historia de Lina y la de Hadley son muy emocionales. Ambas enfrentaron al amor, ambas recorrieron sus caminos con valentía. Lina es una de las protagonistas más preciosas que he leído, y a pesar de la situación tan difícil que pasó, sigue siendo una adolescente, cometiendo errores, teniendo respuestas divertidas, a veces cringes, pero hermosas.
Este libro es como un mimo. Es como el gelato. Dulce, inevitable de querer repetir.

So cute. Definitely tugs at the heartstrings a little bit but I think it was very well-balanced. Tells a really great story of love and grief and found family. I normally steer away from YA, as I don’t like reading about teenagers now that I am no longer one, but I liked this little summer journey.
The pacing was a little slow to get started but once the adventure begins (55% through?) it is a very quick read. Really loved these characters.
Her American-ness felt a little bit overdone (we have prosciutto and gelato in the US as well? How do you not know the Medici family?) but it was cool how sometimes they spoke in Italian considering they were in fact in Italy. Get me a flight to Florence stat
There were some timeline instances the timeline of Ren and Lina seemingly being in love <\spoiler> that I didn’t fully agree with and it felt like a little bit of a rush to happily ever after but overall good.
