The Heavenly Italian Ice Cream Shop by Abby Clements

4.0

Don’t read this book for plot… read it for a trip to Italy & some sunshine soaked silly familia troubles.
This book is seriously receiving an extra star just for atmosphere. Even as my reading of this novel slipped into rainy season I still felt like I was being whisked away to Italy and a loving family home (even enraptured in their petty family troubles at times). The flaws consisted of one mildly rushed lovers arc & a consistent dilemma of Clements referring to female characters by their relation to other males (EG: she uses MY FATHERS WIFE at times which is madness considering Jan is named early on and the mother of both main characters). Regardless, I sped through the book and enjoyed every moment with Matteo & Anna.
