About this listen

Bloomsbury presents When Love Gives You Lemons by Steven Salvatore, read by Jason June and Mitch G Nel

In this exuberant YA romance from the critically acclaimed author of And They Lived..., a budding social media influencer sets out to win back his first love at a family wedding in an Italian lemon grove.

Ever since he was a kid, Fielder Lemon’s large, opinionated Italian-American family has lived next to Ricky DeLuca and his large, opinionated Italian-American family. For almost as long, Fielder has known that he wants to marry Ricky one day. And he thought Ricky felt the same way—until Ricky breaks up with Fielder, saying he needs to figure out who he is on his own.

One year later, Fielder is asked to be one of the best men in his cousin's destination wedding on the Amalfi Coast in Italy, but there's a twist: his cousin is marrying Ricky’s sister. Fielder hasn’t talked to or seen Ricky once during the last entire, terrible year, but he hasn’t given up on his first love quite yet—and isn't a wedding in an Italian lemon grove the perfect setting to rekindle their relationship? Except Ricky might have already moved on.

Now, Fielder has less than a week to win back Ricky’s heart while also trying not to ruin his cousin’s wedding. But if there's one thing Fielder knows, it's that when life gives you lemons, take a bite!

I don't know how Steven Salvatore does this, but once again he writes characters that draw you in and make you fall in love with them instantly. Being a gay NY Italian boy I saw SO much of my family in this story and related more than usual, which is saying something given how I've related to his past books. There is not a single character you won't love, even when you hate them for things they do (no spoilers.) This book will make you love love again and the pure queer joy is palpable. Also...I NEED a lemon tiramisu now...

Perfect Queer Romcom

It felt like a perfect romcom, a lot of times if feels books tend to focus more on the personal journey than the relationship between the characters, and even though Fielder and Ricky didn’t speak for a good part of the book it still grew the relationship wonderfully with real characters with flaws and virtues, when no one is perfect and no one is a villain. The narrators were so good too! That Italian-American New Yorker accent was spot on, reminded me of people I know!

Wonderful romcom!
