This is one of the books I read after the passing of Hurricane Maria here in Puerto Rico. With no water, electricity or internet I took to reading my books.
I read this one on October 24. 34 days after.

Publication - May 3rd 2016 by Simon Pulse
Genre - Young Adult, Romance, Contemporary
“I made the wrong choice.”
Lina is spending the summer in Tuscany, but she isn’t in the mood for Italy’s famous sunshine and fairy-tale landscape. She’s only there because it was her mother’s dying wish that she get to know her father. But what kind of father isn’t around for sixteen years? All Lina wants to do is get back home.
But then she is given a journal that her mom had kept when she lived in Italy. Suddenly Lina’s uncovering a magical world of secret romances, art, and hidden bakeries. A world that inspires Lina, along with the ever-so-charming Ren, to follow in her mother’s footsteps and unearth a secret that has been kept for far too long. It’s a secret that will change everything she knew about her mother, her father—and even herself.
People come to Italy for love and gelato, someone tells her, but sometimes they discover much more.
The Cover:
But I do love the UK edition more.
The Story:
Lina's mom dies and leaves her with a question and a problem. She gets sent to Italy to live with a man her mom talked about in her last days who may or may not be her father.
Overall:
From the beginning I didn't think she would go anywhere with Thomas because it was so obvious that she was going to end up liking Ren.
Although they say never judge a book by it's cover I believe the cover should represent what the book is going to be like or at least some aspect of it.Love the cover to bits. Its definitely the reason I got it.
