The story narrated in this book is one of friendship, family, and first love. “You know, people come to Italy for all sorts of reasons, but when they stay, it’s for the same two things.” its definitely going to the top of my favourite contemporaries of all time - its the ultimate feel book book! this gave me heart flutters and butterflies and all the warm fuzzy feels imaginable. everything about this is positively wonderful and absolutely lovely. Im in awe at how something so light and fluffy can deliver such a deep and meaningful story. fun adventures, amazing characters, and heartfelt message. swoon-worthy crush (pls marry me, ren, i luv u). coming of age story (love the connection between lina and her mothers journal). This book checks so many boxes for me, i dont even know where to begin. and now i have a toothache from the sticky sweetness of this story, which is exactly what you would expect from a title like ‘love and gelato.’ Sugar and spice and everything nice - that is what this book is made of. Im off to find my own ren to love, eat my entire body weight in gelato, and live my best dolce vita. Some personal news: im moving to italy at the end of the week and i would be lying if i said this book didnt influence that decision. ‘people come to italy for all sorts of reasons, but when they stay, its for the same two things - love and getalo.’
