Finding Leda: The Science of Happiness (Italian College novel 1, The Italian Saga) by Gaia B. Amman. Let me start with you can read this as a stand-alone but I highly recommend previous books to get a much fuller picture. One of my favorite things about this set of books by this author is we’ve followed Leda through so many stages of life. Each one brings her to new challenges and I’ve enjoyed watch this character grow. The author does a wonderful job of writing a story that keeps you wanting more and coming back to make sure you don’t miss a bit. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. I’m definitely looking forward to even more. Four stars and highly recommended.

Finding Leda by Gaia B. Amman was a great story! This one has probably so far been my favorite story about Leda I’ve read so far! It had a great story line, great characters, and some great imagery and quotes! I immensely enjoyed reading this one. I feel like Leda is finally starting to find herself a little bit more in this novel. I highly recommend this novel! I would definitely recommend starting this series from the beginning though!

5-Stars

Finding Leda; the Science of Happiness (Italian College Novel 1, The Italian Saga) by Gaia B Amman was an excellent book! I thoroughly enjoyed following Leda as she moved into her years in college. It took ne back to my own college days! I loved seeing g her character blossom in this novel after so much happened with her in the last. I felt that she discovered more about herself than she realized was there in this book. I also found the description of college during that time fascinating. I remember my mom taking classes along a similar schedule but things are so different these days on college campuses. Leda truly is amazing and I absolutely love her character. This is easily a 5-star novel.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In the heart of Milan in 2000, Leda Balni is nineteen and hoping to graduate in genetic engineering. Having read Gaia B Amman’s previous series of her fictionalised account of her own childhood and having read about her school years I was pleased to catch up with Leda and I was not disappointed.
Leda is pondering her happiness along with her feelings as she enjoys her independence, her learning and her rock band. Does she really have time for falling in love and surely she’s to clever for her feelings to be for Sergio, as although he is handsome in a smouldering way he is also unreliable, brooding, and a pothead.
The author manages to capture the thoughts and feelings of a nineteen year old which make Leda so realistic and relatable as a character. She is able to touch on raw emotions and write with such honesty as well as give good life advice. The book is both a great read with an exciting storyline and an independent, feisty and clever heroine at its heart and is also an empowering read. I also felt completely immersed in the wonderful Italian setting due to the authors detailed descriptions, I felt I was in the heart of Milan along with Leda. I look forward to continuing Leda’s adventures with her in future books.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Finding Leda: The Science of Happiness is listed as book 1 in the Italian College series by Gaia B Amman. However, it is a continuation of the Italian Saga and should be read in order. I am very invested in this series and want to know what happens. I am even more intrigued because it is based on a true story. This book was my favorite so far of the series, but I am so mad with the ending. Total Cliffhanger! Amman really knows how to keep readers hooked and coming back for more, because I am in search of the next book in the series. I love that this series addresses taboo but real topics youth have to deal with. It doesn’t matter if American or Italian, in this case. Its all the same. Love, heartache, finding your purpose, deciding your major, evolving friendships, loss, on and on.
This book continues following Leda, and she is now an “adult.” I feel she has really matured throughout the series and we have kind of watched her grow up at this point. She is on a quest of self discovery and aims to “Find Leda.” She is creating a list of rules to live by, which are pretty great for someone in college. She is struggling to not fall into her old habits, and wants to live for herself for once, not for some boy. But this particular boy is making that very very hard. Sergio is back in the picture- remember, the intense pothead of her Ange days. He is grown up and still has that same pull on her, and its taking a lot of energy to avoid him. They are both playing the game this time though.

Finding Leda: The Science of Happiness is the first book in the Italian College series part of The Italian Saga by Gaia B Amman. This time Leda is in college and trying to find herself. She is smart, funny, and realistic. She is pulled in many directions. Does she follow her heart and Sergio or stay focused on her studies? This is a fantastic book, part of The Italian Saga series, which takes you from Leda’s childhood on. Leda is an amazing character because she is relatable and realistic. She deals with issues any female today comes across. She also is human and makes mistakes and has to figure out how to correct herself. I look forward to reading more of Leda’s adventures and see where her life continues to take her.

This author once again has shown what an extraordinary way with words she has. She continues to captivate me with the stories she creates and this one is no different. She creates brilliant characters and storylines every time, she brings you along on the journey and makes you feel as though you are there alongside the characters living out their story! I loved following Leda’s journey in this read maybe even more than her previous journey’s in the other books. I can’t wait to see where Leda’s journey goes next!

Finding Leda; the Science of Happiness (Italian College Novel 1, The Italian Saga) by Gaia B Amman. I love this series and each book gets better than the next. This is the continuing story of Leda Balni who is in college studying Engineering and trying to navigate the world of boys, books and friends. Throw love in there and she’s got her hands full. Sergio has captured her heart and she doesn’t like it because she doesn’t have time for that nonsense. She wants to focus on Engineering, volleyball and a band. Sergio has taken over her brain and she doesn’t know what to do with it. Is love really necessary? I have loved getting to know Leda and her friends and all the fun they have. These books will make you laugh, cry and get angry. I recommend reading the first books to know what is going on but you can read this as a standalone. I can’t wait for the next book!

Finding Leda: The Science of Happiness (Italian College novel 1, The Italian Saga) by Gaia B. Amman is a YA NA story and is full of the usual drama and angst, emotions and adjusting to life in college. As with the other books in this series it is a fiction of the author’s life set in Italy. Through all the highs and lows Leda is trying to find her place in the world and what she wants to do with the rest of her life. There are a lot of different things going on and a lot of different topics to deal with that others may have a few issues with but as usual Gaia doesn’t hold back and nothing is off the table.

This is the 1st book in the Italian College series. I really enjoyed this series so far and after reading the books about Leda’s life through her teenage years and all the things she went through its nice that this series follows on.

Leda is now in college studying genetic engineering and trying to find out what makes her truelly happy. Is it her studying? Her band? Or does she need that special someone to make her truelly happy.

Her history tells her no. That she doesnt need a relationship and the added distraction of a man in her life. However there is one guy she cant shake from her mind. Could he be the one or is she setting herself up for heartbreak yet again.

Finding Leda
The Science of Happiness
Italian College Novel 1
The Italian Saga
By Gaia B Amman
☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
A must read for the Young Adults!

This is a Young Adult story that takes you into Leda’s college years. Who she meets, what she is interested in and who she hangs out with. Her friends are from all walks of life. She enjoys college, and time with her friends. She touches on her favorite subjects, Band, Volleyball and Genetic Engineering. Followed by dating. She also is learning to live on her own and working her way through college. She has no time for ignorant people. But… Can she resist Sergio and his antics?

Gaia B Amman just keeps her story going. I love her characters and who they are. Leda is your typical college student, someone you can relate too. That is why this series is such a great book for young adults. They will find they are not alone in their struggles of growing into adulthood. This story will have you laughing one minute and angry for Leda the next. While this is in a series, it can be read as a standalone. You will not want to miss out on her adventures. Well done Gaia B Amman!

Finding Leda: The Science of Happiness (Italian College novel 1, The Italian Saga) by Gaia B Amman is another wonderfully written novel. As with her other novels, this one flowed right from the last novel, but can be read on it’s own as well. I love how the author is able to pack such raw, beautiful, and real emotions into her characters. While reading this story I couldn’t help but think back to my own college days as I read of Leda’s college experience. There are so many ways I could relate to Leda, through her uncertainties, her willingness to find happiness, her drive to succeed in college, her unsure love life. It was such a beautiful story to read and I look forward to reading more books by this author and in this series.

This picks up after the third book and continues the story of Leda and her adventures in young love and growing up as a teenager. I love that although it’s written about teenagers, it’s not written as young adult fiction. It’s really relatable, and the two male main characters, Nico and Ange, are well-developed. Even though sometimes the story seems slightly dramatic, it never goes too far and it’s an enjoyable read.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

First I must say this novel has the most adorable and vibrant cover that drew me in regardless of the fact that I knew the Italian Saga from Gaia B Amman existed and had wanted to read it. I had high hopes having read the other novels in the series that this book would make me think and feel things that I didn’t know I needed. Unfortunately for me this book fell short of the other ones a tad and I struggled to find that connection with the main character that I had hoped to find. It did have an underlying message and was a fairly well constructed idea of a coming of age story but the layout of this read and the way the character seemed to jump and bounce from issue to issue without really actually solving the one before it was a touch frustrating for me. I did enjoy the world building and felt as if I was abroad at times so that piece remained strong. I will be back for more and look forward to seeing what that may be from Gaia B Amman next!

Finding Leda; the Science of Happiness (Italian College Novel 1, The Italian Saga) by Gaia B Amman is a wonderfully written story that once I started reading I had a hard time putting it down. I’ve read several other books by this Author and I will say if you haven’t read the others I highly recommend you doing so. Leda has graduated from high school and is now off to College. She’s ready to find what makes her happy . She finds herself attracted but is he the one? There’s parts of this book I’m laughing and shaking my head at Leda but then there are moments where I find myself a bit emotional about everything she’s been through on her journey through life. Find out what happens next in this absolute must read. Will she find what she’s looking for? I can’t recommend this Author or this series enough a d can’t wait to read more .

Finding Leda, the Science of Happiness (The Italian Saga #5) by Gaia B. Amman was a good 4 star read.

Leda is going to school in Italy. She has struggled with several self image issues and is recovering from an eating disorder. Having also suffered a broken heart she is trying to move forward from that as well. All of this has turned her into a very strong young woman.

Leda is so busy that she wasn’t looking to connect with anyone but when she meets him there is an instant connection which gets her wondering about her future.

Could he be the one? Does she have room for a relationship?

Overall this was a good read. We get to see Leda grow through the story. We get love, humor, self growth and so much more. All of the characters added a good element to the story. I was pulled in by the author’s writing, I really liked the setting. I look forward to reading more from this author and series. 1-click and get started today.

Finding Leda by Gaia B. Amman a four-star read that you will find easy to read. This is number five in the Italian Saga and number one in the Italian Teen series, but I will be honest I haven’t read them in any real order and I have enjoyed it like that as its like dipping in and out of someone’s life at different times, so its great when I feel like reliving my younger self I can dip in here and see it through someone else’s eyes and almost see where I went wrong and right. In some ways these novel feel like growing up with a friend, and reading them is like chatting about old times, and like some friends they tell a good story at the start and the end but in the middle they get a little wanderlust and drift a bit but manage to pull it back in to get it all back again.

I recommend reading all the books because you’ll love each one for different reasons and you will have backstory. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. I really like each book and this one really had me hooked and I couldn’t put it down. Four big stars and highly recommended!

Finding Leda: The Science of Happiness by Gaia B Amman is the first book in the Italian College series, which forms part of the Italian Saga. This all does need to be read in order as is is a continuation of the story and characters you get to know.
This book so easily takes you back into the story and the interesting works the author is writing about. This whole series has been fun and exciting, which such engaging characters. Each time I see a new book in the series I know I just have to read it!
It is so easy to picture with this book bring there yourself and seeing all the same things as the characters. The development Leda undergoes from page 1 through to the end is well crafted and so relatable. This is another fantastic book in the series and I am looking forward to whatever is next.

I enjoyed the new read by Gaia B Amman, having followed Leda through her formative years it was nice to see her moving on in life and what she did. As with previous books Leda’s life isn’t always straight forward and she had a few obstacles in her life to tackle. Again as with the other books by this author the Italian setting for the story was great, I was immersed in the culture that I have begun to love in the other books. The author clearly has taken her time with Leda’s character development and that shines through in the books. A great read and as always I look forward to more from Ms Amman in the future.

Sex-O-S
The Tragicomic Adventure
of an Italian Surviving the First Time
By Gaia B Amman
☆☆☆☆
This could probably be the best YA story for teens and their raging hormones.
Leda and Nico are the best of the best friends. She is the Tomboy and he is the bad boy. But is he really a bad boy? Is she really a tomboy? These teens are about to find out! This is the best true story about growing through the teen years. You will laugh on one page and cry on the next. At least I did. This story has an Italian twist to it as well. But all things are not the expected fairytale. Getting through those teen years has unanswered questions, unexpected trials and hurt feelings.

Gaia B Amman has researched and wrote this story for the YA teens out in the world. She answers questions that nobody wants. As well as following these young teens as they grow into adults. I love the characters in this story. They just fit! Gaia B Amman has done a great job with this story. Thank you!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sex-O-S: The Tragicomic Adventure of an Italian Surviving the First Time (Italian Teens, novel 2, The Italian Saga) by Gaia B. Amman was a beautifully written novel about a crucial moment in Leda’s teenage life. Based in Italy during the 1990’s, the story starts when Leda was 15. She is in a relationship with her best friend Nico. Nico doesn’t have the best track record and everyone sees him as a bad boy, but not Leda. She is crazy about him and claims he has changed for her. Obviously he’s eager to be with her intimately but Leda isn’t sure if she’s ready for her first time. Questions and worry start filling her head.

I truly felt for Leda through this novel, going through teenage years is never easy, especially as a woman. So many questions and uncertainty and then you throw boys into the mix. I loved Leda for her fierce, head strong personality. Even though this novel deals with very real and emotional topics, teenage sex, insecurities, and eating disorders, the author did it in a very tasteful way. I’m sure many teenage girls could see aspects of this novel in their own lives, and they might even learn a thing or two about themselves along the way.

Well I like finding new authors. This is the first book from this author that I have read and it was definitely different and refreshing. I found myself being transported into the main character Lee. I felt as though I was her and all the drama and events were happening to me. I was glued to the pages and couldn’t wait to see what would happen.

I would say that this is a great first person view of being a teenager and the roller coaster of love and relationships. I found that the author made it very insightful. The life of a teenager can be quite complex and this book definitely was a great look into that world. First loves and first relationships can all be very complex and this book brings the reader into that complex emotional time. The drama and complexities of relationships, family and just being a teenager really shine through in this book. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Sex-O-S by Gaia B Amman was a great story! I always enjoy reading a Leda story, and this did not disappoint. Full of drama, and boy problems, self introspection, this novel starring Leda focused more on sex. I always chuckle to myself reading these novels, because Leda always overthinks her situations and problems. Great writing, great introspection, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel and can’t wait to read more of Leda’s adventures in Italy!

Sex-O-S is the lateset installment in the coming of age story of Leda. I would recommend that you read these books in order for the maximum enjoyment as it shows us with each one a new stage in her life and all the obstacles that come with said age group. I think for me this one was a bit harder to relate to or just to get into in general but I did overall enjoy the story. Maybe for me it was just the age group of her late teens that we get in this one. It is a confusing age and often we traverse some of the most difficult topics at the same time that our bodies go through a major change as well. I like how real and raw things are in these novels and I will be back to see what will come next for Leda as she continues to find her own way in this world and what that may look like for her.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sex-O-S: The Tragicomic Adventure of an Italian Surviving the First Time by Gaia B Amman is the second book in her Italian Teens series which is part of her The Italian Saga series. Leda has grown up to be an inquisitive and thoughtful later teen in this book. She is now facing questions most female teens go through and with her normal aplomb. Amman hits on some major subjects for ladies this age: sex, abuse, weight, and more with a careful and considerate hand to her writing. Leda is such a relatable character and with her lifelong friend Nico (I think many girls have someone like this) things get incredibly complicated. Will Leda learn to be her own beautiful friend? Read this to find out. This is not necessarily for a young girl to read but I think girls at the age of Leda will be able to relate and realize they are not alone in what they are experiencing and questioning.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

SEX-O-S: The Tragicomic Adventure is an Italian Surviving The First Time (The Italian Saga #4) by Gaia B. Amman. This is a YA story dealing with teens and the heavy issues that plague them. The main issue is the “first time” and whether they are ready or not to take that next step. This book was filled with drama, humor, emotion and sex. I enjoyed this book and I can not wait to read more by Ms. Amman.
