There's a lot to address with this book. For one, it was incredibly cheesy and i kept getting embarrassed on behalf of the characters. Mostly Lina. This story essentially follows two timelines, Lina's Present-day timeline in Florence, Italy. And her mom, Hadley's past timeline 17 years in the past in Florence, Italy.
I wish I could give this book more of a better rating but it just didn't hit the 4/5 mark, it barely hit the 3.5/5 mark, in all honesty.
Currently unable to make a cohesive sentence, I'm going to put this into a pro/con list. From this point on their will be minor spoilers, but nothing to give away the plot too much. Read with caution.
PRO: Very funny and heartwarming story. 2)Filled with characters that are easy to follow and get to know, both present and past.

All in all, I did enjoy reading this book and annotating it. It was cute and romantic and cheesy and just easy to follow along with. It brought me through my emotions and left me satisfied with the ending. Frankly, I don't think I'd recommend this to anyone but if you read it then you've read it, if you don't I do not think you're missing out on anything that special.
