When I first read the plot of the book, I didn't think I'd like it: mother's death (not going to disclose my personal reason) and the fact that the father works in a cemetery. I thought it was going to be spooky (I don't like ghost stories). But surprisingly, it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. It was actually better.
The story is mainly a romance-mystery for young adults, one I'm really glad I picked up to read. Read it within the span of 11 days. Great book.
I fell in love with Italy through the descriptive scenery, fell in love with the story through Lina's journey to figure out if she wanted to stay in Italy (also loved exploring it through her eyes), but also loved her journey to discover about her mother's time in Italy. Loved this story and can't wait to read the sequel.
5 out of 5 stars
