Love & Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch

-
Love & Gelato (Love & Gelato, #1)Lina is spending the summer in Italy. But she would give anything to be back at home with her best friend Addie. Lina's only there because it's her mother's dying wish that she got to meet her father. But what kind of father isn't around for sixteen years? That's what Lina is trying to figure out. But then she is given a journal that her mother kept when she was in Italy. Lina is counting the days until she can return to the states. Then she meets Ren who helps her unearth her mother's secret. A secret that will change the way she thought of her mother, father, and even herself.
        OH MY FREAKING GOD! I LOVED THIS BOOK! This is my favorite book no doubt about it. I loved this book so much. This book gave me such a craving for gelato. The day I finished it, I went straight to Sweet Mia's to go and get some stracciatella gelato. Stracciatella is a vanilla flavor with chocolate but Lina will explain in the book how heavenly it tastes.
        Love & Gelato had everything! It had romance, a mystery, and an awesome plot twist. There was a great love triangle! Love & Gelato was a light-hearted and humorous book. Some of the characters are witty and funny. I feel like it's hard to create a perfectly humorous character because sometimes an author will overdo it or the humor won't shine enough. Jenna created the characters perfectly. I loved this book and you can bet I already raved about it to everyone I know!

 I got so many new books this month I'm excited to read! About half of the books I got were graphic novels because I've been in a bit of a reading slump lately.

Page Count: 250 pages (Hardcover) Published: August 18, 2009 My Rating: 4 stars Series: Villians book 1 Genre: Fantasy   While she may seem like a jealous queen after a young girl's beauty, she is so much more. They may have been logic and heartache behind the Queen's attempts on the sweet girl's life. The Queen struggles with her looks and the trauma from her childhood helps her accept the fact that she must become the fairest of them all.    This is definitely my favorite version of Snow White! From the Queen's early days as a child to her last moments, Serena Valentino took this seemingly innocent fairy tale and turned it into something dark and twisted. This is by far the most heartbreaking story of Snow White ever. At the same time, this book has enough plot twists to keep any reader entertained. You'll never believe who the magic mirror really is!      Even though Snow White has never been my favorite, this is definitely a book I would be willi
