Have you ever read a book and felt as if you're in a fantasy background with glitters floating around you? Reading 'Love & Gelato' felt like one of those moments for me — magical.
The way the author described the Italian landmarks and infrastructures felt as if I was really touring Florence and Rome in flesh, and upon doing so, I fell so helplessly in love with Italy. There was even a point whilst reading the book that I'll be up and ready to pack my bags and set off for Italy in a heartbeat. But I guess my love and gelato will have to wait.
I love how light the novel was; it wasn't stressful yet it made me jolt in excitement and set my heart thrumming against my chest until the next chapter.
Everything was just perfect. From the dialogues tot he plot of the story (which was very unpredictable until revealed though, kudos, this deserves a two thumbs up from me). It's also rich of Florentine art and history, which for me is a great part of my being. I love art and history — especially during the Renaissance period. I am also into journal-keeping which is a central point in the story, it inspired me to keep on doing what I love even when it's just a hobby. I'll never know when one of my journals might start an adventure for someone else like in the story wherein Lina's mom's journal did to her.
I'm definitely putting this in my favorites shelf.
