I never read the book, so have nothing really to compare it to.
At first I thought it was going to be yet another Netflix bomb, of which there have been many of late.
The story is bittersweet, and the locations are truly amazing.
It's not going to win any major awards, but it was cute to watch with many tender moments.

Plot summary
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 go back home. But then she 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 her, along with the ever-so-charming Ren, to follow in her mother's footsteps and unearth a secret that has been kept for far too long. It's a secret that will change everything she knew about her mother, her father and even herself.

A sweet flick
Please no
How did they manage to make a main character this unlikable?? I genuinely hate her with all my being. She's no fun, over dramatic about everything and awfully annoying. Honestly why don't Lorenzo and Alessandro end up together instead?
