5.0

A life changing book, with a cast of characters that enter your heart and never leave. I cried and laughed and I will never forget any of this.

All in all, this was a lovely read. To a certain extent, life affirming. But my cynical self prevailed and snatched a star from my final rating. Perhaps it made me jealous; it made me yearn for la dolce vita.

Once you get used to its writing style, you’ll find the prose gorgeously written. This is an homage to beauty, humanity, and art.

I am very sad to be DNFing this book, but the way it is written and the lack of quotation marks are making it difficult for me to continue. Maybe I will try to pick it up later.
