It also helped bring to light a lot of what was going on, since we are as clueless as Lina at the beginning. I’m an addict of journal writing, so this was really close to my heart. The mystery element about Lina’s mother’s past was engaging and interesting! Since we don’t really get to read much of Lina’s mother’s perspective as she passes away early on in the novel, it was fun to see Lina discover more about her mom and what happened in Italy through the journal entries. Though I wanted to love this romance story, I couldn’t get past some of the content and the “okay-ness” with these acts. WERE! This was exactly what I needed with my reading rut recently, something cutesy and fun but doesn’t dive into TOO much.
I’m not going to lie … about 70% of the reason I bought this book’s because the cover’s SUPER ADORABLE! I also saw a lot of reviews where people said they really enjoyed this as a relaxing and easy read … which I was desperately looking for this year!
