This book has some well-rounded characters and really nice imagery. I felt like I was in a New York movie and it was a wonderful break from reality. The plot moved at an odd pace for me- it felt like some elements moved extremely quickly, whereas others dragged on for seemingly no reason. The climax and ending felt a bit cliched, but generally added to the charm of this cute winter read.

It’s a sweet romcom about gelato! What’s not to love. The family connection is sweet and their love story is definitely one you root for. It’s also not overly dramatic and they communicate well in the ways that you would hope for from a love match ❤️. It’s definitely meant for romance book lovers.

I loved the Italian family, but the lying was unnecessary.
