"Ok honestly this was one of the more unexpected depictions of Italian family and foreign girl stories and I must say I've enjoyed it so far. With a potential Arlo spin-off in the works (I'm hoping) this might be a really fun read. One that you cherish for a long time due to the strong feeling of brotherhood mixed with the nail biting drama and excitement. Can't wait for the updates 💜🤟🏻" - @Gauravaaditya "A lily amongst roses is one of the best stories I've ever read. The characters are not just realistic, but loveable. The writing is absolutely beautiful, depicting ever emotion perfectly, and giving every character a unique voice. At the end of every chapter I'm always left wanting more. You won't ever want to put this book down. I'm so glad to have been here through a long part of this books journey, and I can't wait to see it flourish even more. " - @im_her_rose
