From the publisher: "Lina is spending the summer in Tuscany, but she isn't in the mood for Italy's famous sunshine and fairy-tale landscape. She's 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 sixteen years? All Lina wants to do is get back home. But then Lina 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 Lina to follow in her mother's footsteps and unearth a secret that has been kept for far too long. People come to Italy for love and gelato, someone tells her, but sometimes they discover much more."

Holly says: The island of Santorini evokes visions of Greece, with its dramatic views and whitewashed buildings, and this YA novel takes you there. Liv travels to Santorini at the invitation of her estranged father. While they attempt to rebuild their relationship, Liv explores a budding romance. A story of self-discovery and young romance, I enjoyed the plot elements featuring the lost island of Atlantis.
