Even, sadly, Vivien herself.Now Isla is escaping her various heartbreaks to the one place that has always felt like home: New York. She finds a job, a flat, a friend. And then Isla tastes her mother's ice cream at a gelateria in Little Italy. She seeks out the owner and finds Gio, a man who, like Isla, is surrounded by people and yet feels entirely alone. But the most surprising thing? They've met before . . .So can the two of them untangle their pasts and find love in the present?
