Could Rome be where the heart is Sixteen-year-old ScottishItalian Livia feels like an outsider, spending the summer in her grandmothers bar in Rome. Smug local boy Giulio works there too, and quickly becomes Livias nemesis. She is not going to be the clich foreign girl who has a summer romance. But as Livia navigates family drama, new-found friendships and . . . Giulio, she starts to see the city and herself in a new light . . . Perfect for fans of Love and Gelato, To All the Boys Ive Loved Before and Anna and the French Kiss. Think ice cream dates, gorgeous Italian boys and sightseeing on a Vespa! Scottish Italian author, Bruna De Luca, draws on her own experiences of growing up as a third culture Scotalian kid.
