In the background of the 2014 FIFA soccer world cup, Leda embarks on a new series of adventures dealing with hormones, periods, zesty boys and her own fears in what will be in the best summer of her life. Set against the gorgeous backdrop of Sardinia, the Dolomites, and Tuscany, this humorous yet insightful journey through first love, friendship, and first kisses will leave you breathless, marveling at the customs of country most people think they know.”

The Launch Party will feature a presentation and reading by Gaia followed by a question and answer period. Audiobooks will be given away every half hour and the author will sign her works.
