3.0
I had pretty high expectations and I really thought that I would love this book, but it wasn’t at all what I expected. I expected to feel butterflies in my stomach and to smile all the way through, but I didn’t. Like, it was good but not great.
I didn’t really like Lina and even tho I liked Howard and Lorenzo more than the other characters, everyone felt a bit flat to me.
It’s pretty unrealistic since the whole book takes place during only six days, it feels like it would be at least a month. And the plot was pretty predictable too
What I did like was the Beatles references (thanks dad for making me a Beatles pro) and that I understood most of the little Italian there was, something my four painful years at studying Italian was good for:)
