Livia in Rome

A sun-drenched clean teen romance set in beautiful, vibrant Rome! Sixteen-year-old Scottish Italian Livia feels like an outsider, working in her ailing grandmother’s bar in Rome. Smug local boy Giulio works there too, and quickly becomes Livia’s nemesis. She is not going to be the cliché foreign girl who has a summer romance. But as Livia navigates family drama, newfound 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 I’ve 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.
