Things are bumpy and not at all easy, but I loved watching him try to figure it all out. He doesn’t know what to do with a teen girl, and she doesn’t know how to have a dad.

The awkward relationships between Liv and her dad is painfully cute. I love stories that take me to new places, especially beautiful ones that I would love to visit on my own. I don’t read as much YA as I used to, but I loved Love & Gelato and Love & Luck (although, not as much as the first)! I was delighted to discover a third book was coming out in this series of companion novels, this one taking place in Santorini! I loved the idea of a girl reconnecting with her father who left her, and jetting off to Greece to help him film a documentary on the lost city of Atlantis. Because as Liv slowly begins to discover, her father may not have invited her to Greece for Atlantis, but for something much more important. But not everything on the Greek island is as perfect as it seems. She also definitely doesn’t want Theo, her father’s charismatic so-called protégé, to witness her struggle.Įven so, she can't help but be charmed by everything Santorini has to offer-the beautiful sunsets, the turquoise water, the sun-drenched villages, and the delicious cuisine. Liv doesn’t want to get sucked back into her father's world. There are so many questions, so many emotions that flood to the surface after seeing her father for the first time in years. When she arrives in gorgeous Santorini, things are just as awkward as she'd imagined.

So when teenage Liv suddenly receives a postcard from her father, who explains that National Geographic is supporting a documentary about his theories on Atlantis-and asks if she will fly out to Greece and help-Liv is less than thrilled. Liv Varanakis doesn’t like to think about her father much, which makes sense-he fled to Greece when she was only eight, leaving her with just a few painful memories of their shared love for the lost city of Atlantis. Santorini felt like an island holding its breath. Published by Simon Pulse on November 10, 2020 Also in this series: Love & Gelato, Love & Luck
