April Lindner rewrites classics that are destined to become classics themselves.

In this retelling of a Room with a View, young Lucy Somersworth uses her one summer before college to be anyone she wants to be. Traveling with a friend, she is finally free from her father’s rules and expectations. She travels to Florence, Italy where she quickly falls in love with the Italian culture, the vibrant scenery, and a cute street musician.  A love story so sweet it takes you back to your first love, your first heartbreak and leaves you with so many feels!  I enjoyed this book so much; I want to unread it to read it again!

In her latest work, Linder takes us on a whirlwind romance, a grand adventure and a vacation flirtation that may stand the test of time. A coming-of-age story of two young people finding their place in the world and figuring out what it means to follow your dreams.

I have been an April Lindner fan since she released Jane in 2010!  I love retellings so when I saw Jane at TLA I snatched it up and read it cover to cover in one sitting. It is still to this day my favorite Jane Eyre Retelling.  Read my review for Jane here.

I was thrilled to finally meet her this past month at TLA 15! I LOVE HER!!!
