Largely, I enjoyed this read. It was easy to listen to and follow, but I did find it slightly slow in the middle. The story was also slightly frustrating. Though I understand why Iris kept the secret, I felt like it dragged on for a bit too long and could have been solved much quicker in real life (but maybe wouldn’t make for as good of a story!).

4.0

4.5 stars but rounded down because the female lead should have been more honest

A sweet romance that develops around a family's secret gelato recipe. It sounds simple, but the recipe is not the only secret from the past preventing the two lead characters from getting together. The glimpses of NYC, beyond the typical tourist stops, were wonderful.
