It’s not just romance centered—it’s the journey of grief, spending time with family, and friendships as well. Very summery and cutesy, perfect for a beach read!

This is the second book in the “Love and Gelato” series. I couldn’t NOT add it though, because it was awesome. It’s summery vibes set on a road trip in Ireland. (This was heaven for me.) Instead of just a typical romance, it focuses on friendship and...
