Really cute book and if I’d read it in middle school I probably would have given it 5 stars. Perfect for a light listen but very predictable and not much to it. I enjoyed it for that since that’s what I was looking for.

[NO SPOILERS]
a light and easy read. this is perfect for 14 year olds and above, especially for those that are new to reading. Lina, the protagonist, is very relatable and there isn't a particular character in the book that i despise(as in they shouldn't even be added as a character). they were all necessary to make a good storyline. this is one of those books that is good for when you're just bored, want to relax, and don't want to read something that is too overwhelming.

This was pretty predictable and cheesy but sometimes I just want a book where I don't really have to think about anything. Like pure escapism. Also Italy has now become more of a priority on my bucket list. I enjoyed the mystery aspect of Lina trying to figure out why her mother sent her to Italy and what the truth of her family is. However I did guess what was going to happen very early on. I thought the romance was cute, but honestly a little unnecessary. I might've liked it better if they were just really close friends because their nonplatonic love for each other ended up causing unnecessary conflict that just annoyed me. Also Howard <3333. Howard is so sweet to Lina and loves her so well and loved Lina's mother so well. The ending was quite unrealistic but then again this whole book isn't very realistic and thats ok. Also I read another review where someone pointed out that Lina never really processes the many traumatic things that happen to her in this book and that is a very good point. She just moves on like it's nothing after a few hours and those things were definitely not nothing. Overall it was a cute summery read
