Bookworms Book Club

Welcome to the Alexandria Branch's teen book club. For August, we will read Love & Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch.

We meet monthly to chat about books, share snacks and have fun. We read young adult and juvenile books from different genres. It is a great way to meet other readers and share the joy of reading.

For August, we will read Love & Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch.

"Lina is spending the summer in Tuscany, but she is not in the mood for Italy’s famous sunshine and fairy-tale landscape. She is only there because it was her mother’s dying wish that she get to know her father. But what kind of father isn’t around for 16 years? All Lina wants to do is go back home.

But then, she is given a journal that her mom had kept when she lived in Italy. Suddenly, Lina’s uncovering a magical world of secret romances, art and hidden bakeries. A world that inspires her, along with the ever-so-charming Ren, to follow in her mother’s footsteps and unearth a secret that has been kept for far too long. It is a secret that will change everything she knew about her mother, her father and even herself.

People come to Italy for love and gelato, someone tells her, but sometimes they discover much more." -Goodreads
