I loved the premise: Coming across a place her mother had been and a secret gelato recipe.
The added layer of why she was in New York adds a realness to the story.
I enjoyed the Italian-American family, all the sisters, and the family business.
I didn’t love the secrets. She lied by omission and after their first meeting, it became deceptive.
Overall, a fun read.
