This was not my favorite book I’ve read. I felt like the substance and plot of the book was good however, I feel like there were too many different storylines going on at once with the variety of different characters. And there were some details in the book that really weren’t needed where that could’ve been directed to thickening the plot.
I won’t give too much away, but Irene’s character had me feeling indifferent. I’m not a big fan of books that involve infidelity, and it was like her character was trying to reason with her actions which I did not love. I felt bad for Enzo, but also her finding out that her first love was still alive made it even more complicated. I wish towards the end of the book the author would’ve elaborated more on when she came back to the villa to explain her actions. The ending of the book felt rushed.
