After her mother dies, Lina discovers that she has a father
in Italy whom she’s never met.
With her only other living relative (grandmother) too old to care for her,
she’s sent to him. Upon arriving, she is
greeted by another surprise: her
mother’s journal, covering the period of time that Mom spent in Italy and the story of how
she met Lina's father. But the more Lina
learns, the more complicated she finds that history is. With the help of a boy next door, her search
takes her across Florence and all the way to Rome, stopping at a number of beautiful and romantic sites.
Meanwhile, Lina’s own love life is taking off. Torn between the neighbor and a super hot
guy she met at a party, she finds herself making all the wrong choices. In the end, it will take a major intervention (in the form of The Dress) to make
all things right.
In other words, it is silly romantic stuff. Dead mother, hot but clueless guy, sensitive
guy who conveniently makes himself available, lots of unsupervised time, food
and clothes without financial worries, and of course a heroine who is shy and bashful yet
sexier than she knows (obviously, since she can score any guy she wants!). Of course, the book was fun to read, but not terribly good
for you – the literary equivalent of gelato.
