Summary:

Review:
This book was absolutely riveting, It is the perfect combination of light-hearted and deep. The author did a wonderful job balancing out romance, mystery, adventure, sadness, and hope. The characters were very developed, and they each had their own personality and backstory. Additionally, the setting was described beautifully. However, this book was very predictable. Overall, Love & Gelato was very enjoyable.

I kind of feel like any book that takes place in Italy has to be beautiful. Add ice cream, and it's a perfect match!
