The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci by Belle Ami is a romantic thriller that follows an art historian, Angela Renatus, and her connection with some of the celebrated people of the Renaissance era. The story starts in the throes of World War II, and we see a young couple, Sophia and Gerhard, fleeing the German invasion of Florence, Italy. The story then shifts to Angela in 2018, who has been having very vivid dreams of the Medici family and even Leonardo Da Vinci. What’s the connection between Angela and all these people? To add more flavour to the story, Angela meets Alex, an art detective, and the chemistry between them is instantaneous. They will have to solve the mystery of their connection with each other, as well as some past events, or be doomed to watch history repeat itself.

This book was a delightful read, and I enjoyed the author’s vivid descriptions of art, history, and Italian cuisine. I was immediately hooked from the beginning and couldn’t wait to learn how Sophia and Gerhard were connected to Angela and Alex. The buildup to the reveal is exquisite, and there are no plot holes when the author finally reveals all. I also enjoyed the smattering of Italian scattered throughout the book, especially when reading the Renaissance-era dialogues; they flowed naturally and felt authentic. The only minor setback was that the romantic dialogues were a bit cheesy, but this did not detract, in any way, from my reading experience. There were also a few errors, but they were not enough to affect its rating.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, so I’ll give it a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Romance fans will get a thrill out of this book. However, it contains mature content, which may not be suitable for some readers.

I enjoyed the idea behind this book very much. I didn't enjoy it quite as much as you did though. I felt a lot of it was unnecessarily repetitive which I found frustrating.
