I thought I’d love this, but there was something that fell flat. Too many characters, too long, too depressing? I can’t pinpoint exactly what it was but this just wasn’t for me.

I don't think I'm clever enough to get this 💁‍♀️

It went straight over my head and I didn't see the point of it. I really loved the bits in Sicily, I was invested in the family drama but then everything I was interested in was pushed aside once we came to present day London and I was like who cares? Not me, that's for sure.
