Forget Nico: Falling for the Wrong Italian (Italian Teens novel 1, The Italian Saga) by Gaia B. Amman – Review by Meg Tyrrell

Forget Nico: Falling for the Wrong Italian (The Italian Saga #3)Forget Nico: Falling for the Wrong Italian by Gaia B. Amman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Gaia Amman was a new author for me, and I’ve not read any teenage books since I was one myself (which was a long time ago). I was a little worried I wouldn’t be able to connect with the characters since I”m old enough to be their mother. Boy was I wrong! This book was so beautifully written and such detail given to each character, I absolutely couldn’t put this book down. Leda (Lee) is the main character we follow throughout her teen years. She is your normal teenage girl, with the same questions we all had at that age (and some still!). Through her eyes you see and remember what it’s like to be that young and what situations our teens go through. Another part of the reason I loved this book so much was for the Italian in it. Gaia left some Italian words intact and that just added to it for me. Absolutely a must read- no matter your age!

By Gaia B Amman
5 out of 5 stars

I enjoyed reading the story Forget Nico: Falling for the Wrong Italian (Italian Teens novel 1, The Italian Saga) by Gaia B Amman. It is a book that I had a hard time putting down. I enjoyed reading about the character of Leda. She is a young girl who is growing up and dealing hurt feelings, complicated friendships, and feelings for Nico. While reading this book I found myself thinking back to when I was Leda’s age and what was happening in my life. Growing up and becoming a teenager is hard. Leda finds herself unsure about what to do with her emotions and feelings for Nico. What does the future hold for them? Can she really see through his loneliness? Should she forget Nico? Read this book to find out. This story has your emotions going up and down with Leda’s. She is a character that I grew to love with each chapter that I read and found myself wanting her to find happiness. There are many additional characters that interact with Leda and I enjoyed reading about them. Many are helpful and good friends with Leda. Don’t miss out on a wonderful story that has amazing characters. Highly recommended.

Gaia B. Amman was born and raised in Italy. She moved to the United States in her twenties to pursue her Ph.D. in molecular biology. She’s currently the Chairperson of the Biology and Mathematics Department at D’Youville College in Buffalo, New York, where she was also voted “best professor” by the students. Her research and commentaries have been published in prestigious, international, peer-reviewed journals, including Nature.

A bookworm from birth, she wrote throughout her childhood and won two short story competitions in Italy in her teens. Gaia is an avid traveler, and many of her adventures are an inspiration for her fiction. Mostly she is passionate about people and the struggles they face to embrace life. Her highest hope is to reach and help as many as she can through her writing and her teaching.

She authored the sci-fi fantasy “Linked—Will Empathy Save the United Terrestrial Democracy?” and “The Italian Saga,” comprised of  the “Italian Childhood Duology,” the “Italian Teens Duology,” (of which “Forget Nico” is volume one), the “Italian College Duology.” And the “Woman Scientist Trilogy.” The books, light-hearted and funny at first sight, deal with issues like sexuality, divorce, friendship, abuse, human rights, gender stereotypes, first love, and self-discovery.

Among Amman’s favorite authors are J.K. Rowling, Jandy Nelson, Neil Gaiman, Chuck Palahniuk, Kurt Vonnegut, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Antoine de Saint Exupèry.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book. I found the beginning difficult to get into and a bit messy to understand, although this might also be because I didn’t realise this was the second in a trilogy and I hadn’t read the first book. Nevertheless, by the halfway point J was hooked and eager to find out what was coming next. It was an interesting look at a slice of life as a graduate student in a science research lab and all that that life entails, along with its take on immigrant America and the ups and downs of personal relationships. I haven’t read a book like this in a while and I really enjoyed it.

I will say I did enjoy this book rather well. There were times I wasn’t 100% fond of Leda, but I can understand where she was coming from, maybe it’s because by 24 I wasn’t really much of a party kid. I’m in school now myself so i understood the stresses of things, though I don’t think I’ll ever take my education as far as she did, that sounds like a nightmare! I really did enjoy this book, and loved the humor behind it and the realness. There were times I felt a little out of sorts but I think that’s because I haven’t read the rest of the series, but this book has made me want to go read the rest of Leda’s story. All In All IT was a lovely book and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a nice heartwarming read, with some humor and realness mixed in.
4 out of 5 Stars.

Singles: ...And Other Singularities (Woman Scientist Trilogy 2, The Italian Saga)Singles: …And Other Singularities by Gaia B Amman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Singles And Other Singularities is the second book in Gaia B Amman’s Woman Scientist trilogy, a continuation of her Italian Saga. The Saga follows the life of Italian scientist Leda as she grows up. At this stage in the story, Leda is settled in Buffalo conducting research under the unforgiving guidance of Dr Scrui. Working hard to keep up with the constant demands of her studies, Leda is also involved in an array of romantic dramas.
With a series like this, it is hard not to get attached to the protagonist. The story is told from her perspective, mixing first person narration with epistolary emails and the poetry Leda is writing. This keeps things varied and the emails are a great way of keeping us up to date with what’s going on back in Italy!
Like in the other books, there’s a huge amount of romantic drama in this book. It’s not all Leda’s own drama – with many friends confiding in her she gets tangled up in their dreams and woes as well. With the stress of her academic work, and an ill sister to worry about, Leda really needs stable friendships she can rely on which is hard with all the drama.
For me, this is a four star book. It’s similar in tone to the Adrian Mole series – if you liked that you’ll love this! It was great reading about Leda’s childhood in Italy and seeing her getting to grips with American culture is very entertaining.

Singles: …And Other Singularities (Woman Scientist Trilogy 2, The Italian Saga) by Gaia B. Amman. This author knows the meaning of emotional roller coaster, this isn’t the first one I’ve been on with this author and I’m definitely hoping it’s not the last. The author knows how to write characters readers can connect with and root for. The writing style is smooth and well thought out. The story world that’s been created is one I love to visit. From page one I knew I was in for a journey and I loved every single minute of it. The story is paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. The characters truly draw you into their world and take a little piece of your heart along the way. I’m becoming quite the fan of the author and this Trilogy. I’m excited to see where the author takes us readers next. Four stars and highly recommended.

Singles and Other Singularities was so good! It was like reading a diary, or a long letter from your best friend. I was a little confused at first, as I have not yet read the first novel, or any novel that features Leda and her friends and family, but it didn’t take long to catch up. I enjoyed this book a lot better than I thought I would, and I can’t wait to read the next installment!

I haven’t read a book for a while that takes me on a real rollercoaster ride of emotions but this book did and it had me hooked from the very beginning. It’s an amazing written read that really draws the reader in with descriptive content, real and raw storyline and the truth behind cancer research. I loved our two main characters they really helped progress the story along and really help give the story an extra layer of depth.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This lovely novel is book two in the Italian Saga series from Gaia B Amman.I would recommend that you read book one before diving into this one as it is a continuation of Leda’s story, our main character throughout. This book was a tad slow on the take off part of me, much like the last one I read in the series but it is still worth trudging through to get to the good parts. We see Leda finding herself is needing the work more than anything this time around. She is still trying to find that cure for cancer and works hard to overcome the obstacles that the world around places in her path. Her romance life still leaves a lot to be desired but she struggles with the balance of her work and cause and personal time. For the love of Pete, that boss though. I can’t stand her and often want to smack her right through the kindle. I admire Leda’s patience because mine would have run out a long long time ago. I look forward to seeing what adventures will come next in the saga.

3.5 stars

This is an extremely detailed story that I don’t this can be jumped right into because it starts “in the middle” of Leda’s story and can be difficult to follow if you don’t know the backstory. It is my recommendation that “The Italian Saga” be read, in order, first.

It is wonderful reading about women in the STEM field and how there are STILL different standards for men and women Ph.D. candidates.

As with other stories I have read by this author, the writing is incredibly detailed and I did skim quite a bit. At the core of this story are relationships of the most complex type. Intricacies in human behavior and how one reacts to different settings and personalities.

Well written and plotted, this story can continue for years to come as life unfolds.

Singles: And Other Singularities (The Woman Scientist Trilogy 2- The Italian Saga) by Gaia B Amman starts of slow, I am not sure why, but it always takes me ages to get into these books, but I do enjoy them in the end. The characters always make me want to slap them for putting up with their boss and for the way some of these men treat women. But I always end up enjoying the story.

Leda is once again back at the lab doing what she loves and trying to work out her place in the world and those within it. I love her conversations with the Old Man, they make me laugh. I am glad that she is seeing that she needs to find herself before hooking up with a man again. She is a very complex woman with her emotions, and it makes me want to hug her and shake her at the same time and tell her to loosen up and stop being so grumpy. Any way there are lots of ups and downs for all the characters as they struggle with their lives and the different cultures they are faced with and not to mention the boss from hell. I would love to see what karma brings that woman, nasty woman.

If you have enjoyed the other books you will like this one.

Singles by Gaia B Amman a four-star read that will let you fit. This is Woman Scientist Trilogy two, The Italian Saga book eight. I have read them as a series and enjoyed them as such, I would suggest you read them in order as even reading the after a break means I have had to nip back and check something as I was feeling a little lost. Leda is a good character who you will enjoy getting to know, she is real as she is flawed and that just means she leaps off the page. Reading about her and getting to know her better just made this story so much better that I would have been without her.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really appreciated reading this book for many reasons. One, being based in Buffalo and being a Buffalonian it was really cool to be able to put myself in the places these students visited. Secondly, I myself was a graduate student. I thought about going for a PhD after completing my masters and this book made me glad I did not go further with my education. The author was able to portray the stress that goes into graduate school perfectly. My older sister completed her PhD in NYC and I now have a better appreciation of what she went through. Yes, every person has a different PI or boss and different experiences, but the stress is still there. What I liked most was reading about the different cultures that formed these relationships/companionships/friendships, what ever word you want to use for them. The different cultures and personalities that came together to create such a tight knit group of people was amazing to read about. Though one of them may have felt alone, they were never truly alone. Having experienced it myself, the author does a fabulous job of demonstrating the complex relationship among competitive friends; the fine line of wanting your friend to succeed but also wanting to do better than them. I loved watching Leda’s rollercoaster of emotions and how she handled each situation with as much maturity and of sound mind as possible. As someone who suffers with anxiety and depression, it was hard to read the pain that she experienced but I loved reading her poetry/music and her emails to Andre back home. I think that every person that reads this book could walk away with some extra knowledge about life and relationships. School is not all about books and classes, it’s so much more than that.

You are yet again taken straight into the life of Leda, someone who I think we can all relate to!! There are times when she has me laughing and times when I was to scream in frustration at her and yet it feels like what she goes through, and the decisions she has to make in life are so relatable.
It is great that this book has a serious side to it, the funny and the serious offset each other very nicely. This was a brilliant read and I can’t wait for more.

Singles and Other Singularities (The woman Scientist Trilogy 2- The Italian Saga) is the latest offering from Gaia B Amman. This series has slowly worked its way under my skin- and I can’t help being invested in these great characters and the outcome of the story/series.
Reading from book one and following along on The Italian Saga, I have enjoyed seeing the characters evolve, grow, and develop along the way. It is interesting- Ms. Amman’s descriptive and detailed style creating an entirely believable, and relatable cast of characters- and situations. I like how well rounded they are- this is definitely a character driven storyline.
Looking forward to more!

Thank you, Ms. Amman!

Single and Other Singularities (The Woman Scientist Trilogy 2-The Italian Saga Book 8) by Gaia B Amman has a different flavor for me. Amman wrote a well thought out emotional roller coaster ride. The story’s core is based on a cancer research and all that goes into that story. The characters are complex and easy to follow along. The characters have many emotions and dealing with the healthcare field can be a pain in the neck. There is more support for those in the healthcare field. It is like a big family, which makes it apparent why everyone supports one another. Will the research move forward to the goal or will everything fall apart? Can everyone work together? One will have to read the book to find out the answers.

This is a relatable story because of the well written characters. The author makes what could be a cold, dry subject into something enjoyable and interesting. Leda is great even though she makes some poor decisions. I think this is part of what makes her so enduring. She is young and in a foreign country but making the most of her opportunities.

I really enjoy reading stories by this author; she never fails to pull me into whatever I am reading. She has a really nice, relaxed writing style. I think because the subject of the story was so close to my heart I found I was really invested in what I was reading. I loved the humour side to the story it sliced through some of the more serious parts and really lifted what I was reading and made it more entertaining. I really like Leda so I was really looking forward to reading more about her, I admire her drive to succeed in her career but I also deep down really want her to find love and have a good work/life balance – I think she is genuinely a lovely person.
An entertaining story that I really enjoyed! As always I look forward to reading more from this author again in the future.

She is also dealing with horrible bosses, lack of funding and the US immigration services. Will Leda find love and a cure of cancer or both? Will she realize there is more to live than just work, work and more work. Read Singles to find out!

Right away I fall back into the love I have for the MC, the quirkiness, the sass, the bluntness, and just the way the MC present herself, is outstandingly amazing. I love the look into what it was like to move to another county, and another culture, and see it through the MC’s eyes, and what she went through. It in itself was an eye opener, and I got to really see how strong she was. The ups, downs, the new connections and the job, I couldn’t get enough of this book. If you haven’t read the other books, no worries, there is enough in here, in regards to background that you won’t feel too lost, and as there is a new setting, and side characters, you don’t feel like you’re missing much. But I do I do suggest reading the other books, as they are amazing and just as intriguing.

Overall this book is truly a one of a kind read, that gets my super high recommendation, and my stamp of approval.

Happy reading

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Immigrant: An Italian in America by Gaia B. Amman is the seventh book in the Italian Saga, book 1 in the new spin off series. This is a series that follows the same character throughout her life. While I would recommend reading this series in order so you get the full character development it isn’t required – I haven’t read them in order and have enjoyed the ones I’ve read so far.
This book was a great addition. Leda is a fascinating character to get to know, especially in this book with the complete change of scenery. The author wrote the story perfectly. It really felt like you were there with Leda for her whole journey. You got to experience everything as she did.
I am looking forward to see what else this new chapter has to offer.

The Immigrant: An Italian In America Gaia B Amman is a great book to get your love for the USA again. Gaia Amman is an amazing storyteller. She describes every in great detail. It makes it so if you have not seen the country where the story takes place, you will be able to see it in your mind’s eye. Leda is the Italian immigrant that wants to travel for one year in America because she is unsure of what she is looking for her life’s direction. It is through Leda’s eyes we see our beautiful country. I highly recommend you read this book to get your love for USA again

The Immigrant: An Italian in America (The Italian Saga)
by GB Amman

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Having read other books in this series I had high expectations and they were met with every turning page. You can read this story without having read other stories in this series, but it’s my advice to read the other books because they are exceptional. The author does an amazing job bringing you into the story with vivid detail. This story take us on a journey with Leda when she travels to America for a year and we experience obstacles that come with being an immigrant. There were things that I probably would have never thought of being a challenge had I not read this story, it definitely gave me a better understanding and new perspective that I wouldn’t have otherwise known since I haven’t traveled away from this country at any length. I loved that I got so have small moments with some of the characters from the other books and also meeting new ones. I highly recommend this book and this author.
