After all, if he really cared, he would have contacted her earlier. Even though Howard tries to make Lina feel comfortable, Lina simply can’t accept him back into her life so quickly. Under different circumstances, Lina would immediately fall in love with Italy’s shimmering waters, quaint villages, and captivating artwork, but she’s only there to satisfy her mother’s dying wish for her to meet her long-lost father, Howard. In Love & Gelato, the stage is set in Tuscany, Italy, where seventeen-year-old Lina Emerson is on a visit. Maybe my pediatrician wasn’t ever going to recommend I eat gelato left and right, but this book was exactly what the doctor ordered. Would it really live up to the hype? In the end, I decided to borrow the novel from my local library just for laughs. But that’s when my friends began to pelt me with book recommendations, a primary one being this book. Next to the plethora of suspenseful dystopian and fantasy novels I had yet to read, Love & Gelato didn’t seem like it would be worth my time. For the longest time, I left Love & Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch on my to-read shelf like an ice cream cone in the summer sun.
