So I’d skipped so many months of Book of the Month Club because there hadn’t been anything I wanted. Then this one showed up and I actually ended up picking three books! But this one was perfect to read for this time of year even if it wasn’t necessarily a holiday theme for the story, it was still taking place during some holidays including Christmas. I really enjoyed this one a lot. In fact I only marked it down to a 4.5 stars because I was so angry that she didn’t tell him so many things! While I get that she didn’t want to give his father’s secret away, she only got herself in more and more trouble by letting it go on and on without the truth. But the way that Gio handled finding out when he did, well that was realistic and I like the way the author handled that in the end. Also, now I want to try vanilla gelato really bad!!!
