more like 2.25/5 but i just couldn’t connect w any of the characters (which began increasingly important as i realized that there was no plot)
3.5 ⭐️
Though originally published in 1970, "Last Summer in the City" still acutely captures what it means to be a young adult meandering about the world, unsure of where exactly to go next. Leo's job is unsatisfying. His romantic endeavors precipitate more frustration than fulfillment. And, despite all the friends and beauty and vibrancy in Rome, he feels alone.
I squirmed at the novel's repeated use of the f-slur, but I'll attribute it to something misaligned in the translation. If you're looking for something short and astute, check this one out!
