Gelato at the Villa Book Review

By Kaylisa Montijo / August 30, 2025

Robin Jones Gunn delivered another absolutely delightful novel in Gelato at the Villa, the second installment in the Suitcase Sisters Series.

“Wow. What A Story!”

By Kaylisa Montijo / July 3, 2025

Do you ever finish a book and just sit there, sort of shell shocked by the way the author built the intricate world, developed an unpredictable plot, and made that tiny, seemingly insignificant detail from chapter one somehow the answer to everything? I like to joke that if a book leaves you pondering your entire…
