YA
Sixteen-year-old Addie (Lina's best friend from Love & Gelato) has been crushed by a romance gone wrong, and her older brother Ian's acting like Addie's problems are ruining his life. The siblings, with cute Irish guy Rowan, unexpectedly wind up touring Ireland after their aunt's destination wedding. Excerpts from the self-help/sightseeing guidebook Addie uses are interspersed throughout this entertaining if standard-issue journey of self-discovery.

YA
Following her mom's sudden death from pancreatic cancer, sixteen-year-old Lina moves to Tuscany to stay with the father she just learned exists. Lina's mother's journal (snippets of which are interspersed) from her own time in the region helps shape Lina's experience and sparks a little mystery. The novel's well-rendered, swoon-worthy setting adds emotional weight to the romantic subplots (both Lina's and her mother's).
