Finding Leda, the Science of Happiness (The Italian Saga #5)Finding Leda, the Science of Happiness by Gaia B. Amman
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.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Arrows Tipped with Honey (Natural Forces Book 2) by Jean Gill is an original YA fantasy story that is well written and wonderfully vivid. There are many layers to this adventure and the characters are well developed. Jean’s world building is exciting and helps pull you along as we are faced with lots of action and danger, magic and politics, intrigue and drama. Sometimes the suspense would have me holding my breath as I waited to find out how the characters would get through a situation. This book should not be read without reading the first book as there are so much needed details to help make the story.

Torch by Tricia Copeland is the second book in the Lovelock series. I recommend reading the first book before this because this is truly a continuation of the story. If you like YA, dystopian, sci-fi, or adventure you will enjoy this story. It is fast paced and kept me reading until late into the night. I really enjoy the Jema because she is at the heart of trying to save everyone but has been named as a traitor. Those who she comes across are a varied lot. Who and why should she trust them?
This story is really timely because it is dealing with a contagion which has been taking out the population and the cure for all. Greed is a big player in the motives of people at the top rungs. Can Jema get the cure before it is too late?
I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

I want to start by saying that if you haven’t read book 1 first I think you should so you can get a better understanding because book 2 is a continuation from the first one, and of course it’s a great book.This book is full of adventure, danger, action, and unexpected turns. We follow Jema and Troy as they are in a race against time to try to save humanity. We get introduced to new characters and experience their relationships with each other evolve. Even though Jema and Troy are young, they are strong survivors. The author wrote a great story with vivid detail so I felt like I was along for the adventure. I can’t wait to see what comes out next. I recommend this book.

Torch (Lovelock Book 2) by Tricia Copeland was a great dystopian novel. It is the second book in a series. I have not read the first book and was worried about reading this book out of turn. I was pleased, however, with the explanation the author gave to help readers know what is occurring. The storyline revisited what occurred in book one which helped me tremendously. I do want to go back and read the first book based on how much I enjoyed this book. It took me some time to get into it though. I loved the characters and was amazed with everything they went through. I loved how prepared they were for the circumstances. This is an enjoyable novel and I look forward to reading more from this author.

Torch is the 2nd book in the Lovelock series by Tricia Copeland. It picks up where LoveLock Ones left off, so it should be read in order. The downfall of reading a brand new book, is now I have to wait for the next book in the series. This series is a solid dystopian series, with a twist of science fiction. It is action packed and you won’t want to put it down. I was hoping this book would end differently, but instead it leaves us with a lot of anxiety and frustration. It is a wonderfully written story, with strong characters and a solid plot. The book follows Jema, a teenager on the run, after being branded a traitor. Her uncle is about to cause WWIII and Jema and her friends are trying to prevent that. There is a deadly virus circulating, and Jema and her boyfriend Troy were the keys to making a cure. They are constantly on the run, fighting for survival. Jema has the weight of the world on her shoulders, along with the survival of their group. It’s a lot for a 16 year old, but she is strong and one of the best female leads I’ve read about. Highly recommend this series. Copeland, hurry up with book 3 now, anxiously awaiting!

Torch by Tricia Copeland was a great novel! I had a little trouble with events in the beginning, as this is the second novel in the Lovelock series, and I have not read the first book in the series yet. However after getting into it, I found I immensely enjoyed it! A very apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic novel, this felt very preeminent to me, in the fact that with everything in the world going on right now the way it is, this could very well be out future in a couple of years. So I felt some melancholy while reading, but it was a great read! I highly recommend this novel.

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.

I give Torch (Lovelock Book 2) by Tricia Copeland, 4 stars.
**This review may contain spoilers from book 1.**

This is the second book in the YA dystopian series. It picks up where book one left off and is full of adventure, action, heartbreak, and basically just learning to survive. Yes there is a main goal and they are working towards it, but in this new world, everything takes time. The timing of this book being released right now makes it feel all the more like this could really happen. It brings things into a perspective I did not have when I read book one.

A very well-written story, this book pulls you right in and is interesting from beginning to end. There is so much going on in this book. The characters are great too. You have ones that are back from book one, as well as new characters you will come to love.

Since this continues the story from book one, I do recommend reading the first book before you delve into this one. However, this is a great dystopian story and I definitely recommend both books.

Torch is a post-apocalyptic/Sci-Fi read from author Tricia Copeland. This is my second read from this author and once again She has created another captivating and imaginative read that is easy to read and flows from chapter to chapter.
This author writing style makes this read so real and realistic I felt as though I was entwined within the story, and it was made believable in a way that made you stop and think.

This book is filled with action, adventure and danger. It’s suspenseful and thrilling and keeps you guessing. The characters that Tricia Copeland has created are relatable, and you can connect with them on many levels throughout the read. The journey Jema and Troy make again in this read pushes what we already saw in Book 1 to the next level, this book has you on the edge of your seat along wondering what really will happen next. Tricia Copeland has left us wondering again with this ending and has left us wanting more! I can’t wait to see where our next story takes us. I highly recommend this read!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This young adult dystopian novel is a fast paced read, second in the lovelock series and is heavily action based. 16 year old Jema along with her friends is faced with an almost impossible task to save the world, against a deadly virus. Her sinister uncle, who rules the government is against releasing the cure for this lethal contagion. So, in the middle of the desert, with limited resources, she has to battle against time to get the cure out. She and her friends are branded as traitors and are on the chase.
The most interesting part about this book is that we can relate it to what is happening around us now with the pandemic around us. The virus is up on the rise and if the cure is not found, the whole world is at risk. Rings a very familiar bell right? I enjoyed reading this page turner.
The only thing I thought was that the plot is so heavily action packed and dialogue oriented, there is a very little description of the setting of the story itself. The reader doesn’t miss it in the midst of all the action, but it would have been more interesting to read when more attention is paid to the little details around the setting, which most authors do, to enhance the beauty of the story.

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.

This is a continuation from the last book. Troy and Jema are living off the grid, trying to survive. I loved that part of the book. Seeing what they did at their location to survive. The story surprised me at times and others it seemed in limbo. The characters are intriguing. I mean Troy and Jema are very smart and ingenious. They impress me with their maturity. When other people are added to the mix they take Troy and Jema at age value. They are always surprised when they realize what Troy and Jema can and will do to survive. I do enjoy all the coded messages, whistles and sign language among others that they use for communication. That was very cool!

Overall I didn’t love this (I really wanted to because book 1 impressed me so much). Among the action and drama there were too many lull times. I know some are expected but I was almost to the point of flipping pages during that time. The character building is good although I didn’t see much growth in the two main characters (secondary characters-yes). The world created was still great. Very different to think of the US that way. That ending??? It just blew me away! I was surprised and shocked!

Torch is book two in the Lovelock Series and it was a good 4 star read.

Following book one in the series, we start with Jema and Troy who have fled to the middle of nowhere setting up a safe place to stay until they get word on their next move. The virus has returned and some high ranking people are fighting over it. When a group of their friends end up joining them, the adventure kicks in from here.

Will they be able to save humanity?

They have a goal to reach and they are determined to get it done. You get pulled in right from the beginning and we get lots of twists and turns. We get action, danger and so much more. Jema was a strong character and all the secondary characters added a great element to the story. I couldn’t help but think about current events while reading this and kind of freaking myself out slightly, LOL. Could we possibly be getting another book in the series? If you’re looking for a great read that will have you on the edge of your seat, 1-click and get started today.

Having read the previous book in this series and enjoying I was looking forward to this one and I wasn’t disappointed. The dystopian genre isn’t really one that I read but I found I was really able to get in to this story quite quickly. It was an interesting and intriguing read and with the world currently going through the situation we are the book is actually quite apt – maybe that’s why I felt like I could get into more as I was able to draw some parallels to real life possibly?!? Just hopefully not the vaccine part of the book!! The authors writing is great, she really drags you into the world that she has created and her descriptive language is great – really helps me as a reader build a picture of what I am reading. It was also nice to read a more plot driven story – I felt like I was really into what I was reading rather than thinking about the characters and their development.
Overall a good read, interesting storyline and I would definitely recommend it.

Tricia Copeland is a great storyteller and this series is one of my favorites. I enjoyed the growth of the characters. I read this book in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down.

This is the second novel in the Lovelock Books from Tricia Copeland. I would really recommend reading the first book before you dive into this one as it sets up a lot of the story and things may get a tad confusing trying to traverse this second novel. This one is also set in a dystopian type world and gives us a front row seat as Jema and Troy tackle each obstacle and adventure in the novel. The end goal is to save the world so things of course can be pretty epic. I loved the adventure and the sense of intrigue as you read and how I managed to keep myself literally on the edge of my seat to find out what would happen. These novels tend to keep me either interested and intrigued or overwhelm me and are hard to read, and this one definitely falls in the intrigue and interested category. I look forward to seeing what will happen next for the kids as they move forward with the next novel.
