Ahhhh, someone please swoop in and take me to Italy! This book was like a breath of fresh Mediterranean air with a hint of romance and a whole lot of heart. It had everything I was looking for from an Italian summer story - exploring ancient buildings, secret bakeries, Tuscan vistas, oodles of gelato, scooter rides, summer nights, spontaneous train trips to Rome, and much more. The plot felt very reminiscent of Mamma Mia, except with a sixteen-year old protagonist. Despite the obvious feeling of escapism, the teenage characters actually felt fairly real to me. All I’m asking for is a Ren i’m my life…
