"you know how in english we say that people ‘wear their hearts on their sleeves’? well, in italian, you say 'avere il cuore in mano.' you hold your heart in your hand.
every time ren looks at you i think of that saying. he's crazy about you."

this book was honestly really cute! nothing too special but i enjoyed it, my 6th grade self would have probably been OBSESSED with it. the setting of italy and lina’s mum’s journal was rlly fun and lina and ren are very cute together :). it’s very classic YA romance, especially the ending lols.
