Liv is my favorite protagonist, combined with the Atlantis lore and the documentary aspect, makes this a near perfect book for me.

The main character Liv is an artist and seeing Santorini through her eyes made it an even more visual experience.

I loved the culture and all the mentions of Greek food; my husband is Greek so I loved reading about things that I’ve come to learn over the years. Do you think going back and forth in time -- a frequently used plot device in modern novels -- adds tension or interest to the story? There was a tiny little shelf and I remember noticing that half of the books were about cheerleaders.He didn’t love when I spent time with other guys (understandable), and it was hard to balance all of my own activities and schoolwork with going to his games and spending time with his school friends. Maya turned, and we watched her and her dog trot off into the distance while I waited for Dax’s customary denial. In addition, this is definitely a ‘it’s not the book, it’s me thing,’ but I also wasn’t super invested in the Atlantis sub-plot. He’s feeling more confident in every aspect of his life, and especially with Cirrus, who’s started to become not just his dream girl but also the real deal.

Love and Gelato is one of my favorite reads, but I was hesitant to read Jenna Evans Welch’s other books.I want them to taste like a delicious cupcake, complete with frosting and sprinkles, while mixing in some bran and banana that will stick with and nourish my readers, informing how they make decisions and see themselves. Her dad’s teenage film assistant, Theo, helps Liv navigate these feelings, while the two try to calm the chemistry between them. I love how Jenna Welch has the ability to transport us to the locations of her novels, and, in this particular book, tackles serious issues such as abandonment and mental health.

Liv Varanakis is surprised when she receives a postcard from her father asking her to travel to Greece to stay with him.

Central to the story is the mystery of the lost city of Atlantis and the documentary film her father is making on the subject. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a sweet YA contemporary book about finding love, discovering treasure, and exploring your true self.
