This is a college novel- where before she was a small girl growing into teenage years, now we’re finally getting an older Leda. The funny part about this is when she emails in this book- it has the date, and I REMEMBER THOSE YEARS! She’s a little older than me in reality, and being an adult while reading her years as a child, I just didn’t think she was. I think this was my favorite book of hers so far. She is smart and is finally figuring out what she needs to do to make herself happy. I’m addicted to Leda and I am not ashamed about it. I can’t wait to read the next one!

Finding Leda: The Science of Happiness (Italian College novel 1, The Italian Saga) By Gaia B. Amman 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the story Finding Leda: The Science of Happiness (Italian College novel 1, The Italian Saga) by Gaia B. Amman. I have read several of the books in this series and have found them to be entertaining and addictive to read. I love the character of Leda and always enjoy reading about her life and experiences. I find that my emotions went up and down along with hers in this story. Leda is going to college and between that, wanting to join a band, and a volleyball team, she doesn’t seem to have time for romance. Then chemistry and attraction starts and Leda wonders if he is the one? Read this book to find out the full story. Leda’s world includes her education, friends, and her search for happiness. I also enjoy reading about the additional characters that interact with Leda. This is a story that has moments that made me laugh and others that had me wondering what Leda would do next. This is another wonderful story to read in an amazing series. I highly recommend reading it.

Italy, year 2000. Leda had her share of Prince Charmings, bad boys, heartbreak, and other nuisances. Now she’s set for life—eyes on the prize: happiness, the kind that is achieved by loving herself and working hard at her degree in Medical Biotechnology.
Except that…she can’t forget him.
Sergio: the drug dealer, the poet, the chaos theory in Leda’s no-nonsense life. Their friendship grows deeper despite her skepticism. Hell, their attraction would defy gravity.
So, here we are: logic and love, instinct and rationality.
What is the perfect balance to find true love and happiness?
You will love this slow-burn tale of vulnerability and self-discovery because it’s based on a true incredible story full of emotions and real-life advice.
Born and raised in Italy, Gaia B. Amman is the author of Linked, a sizzling sci-fi political thriller about empathy and diversity, In the Arms of Morpheus, a speculative romance (to be released 2020), and The Italian Saga (volume nine to be released in 2021). She was the 1996 and 1997 winner of a Short Story Award in Arese (MI), Italy.
Fluent in four languages, Amman has a Masters in Medical Biotechnology (genetic engineering) and a PhD in Molecular Oncology (molecular cancer research). She is a Professor of Biology at D’Youville College in Buffalo, New York, and the recipient of several science awards (UniMI fellow 2002-05, DOD fellow 2005-07, AICF fellow 2007-08, AICR fellow 2007-09, DOD fellow 2010-12, 2017, 2016 DYC Researcher of the Year, 2016 AAUP Scholar of the Year).
An avid traveler for work and pleasure, Amman has backpacked across the world. When nobody is watching, she binge-reads novels and manga, watches anime, or rocks it out with her Buffalo-based cover band.
Amman’s novels delve into the depths of human nature, combining the realistic approach of a scientist with the humor and empathy of a survivor.
She is a vegetarian and a fervent supporter of diversity and human rights.
Among her favorite authors are J.K. Rowling, Jandy Nelson, Neil Gaiman, Chuck Palahniuk, Kurt Vonnegut, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Antoine De Saint Exupèry.
