The vibes of Italian summer nights were immaculate
.
The angst was definitely angsty - to the point where it shouldn't have been that serious. It did hit in the feels but it also got ridiculous at times.

The plot was virtually non-existent - read for the vibes or the angst only! The book is too long for only vibes and angst but alas. I enjoyed it. And I'll probably read it again because I looooved the writing.

Not really a romance -
no hea/hfn
. The cartoon cover is misleading regarding tone. All the characters need to go to therapy.

This entire book is the cannon event of first love, miscommunication, and misplaced love. 

Magdalen and Theo both have so so so much baggage and in no way are they good for each other or ready for a serious relationship with each other. 

The way Theo went completely silent when the other girl was talking to him and then sent Maggie home alone without any communication was enough for her to walk away from him and never look back. As a girl tho, I have been there and done the exact same thing in taking him back :( 

The way she immediately assumed that the man she was just in bed with, was then having an affair with her engaged, soon to be married sister mere feet away from her and her sisters fiance downstairs is CRAZY. That right there lets me know that the level of trust you need for a healthy relationship will just never be there. 

This was a rollercoaster of a love story and definitely one that would not last past the end of the book so I am glad the author didn't just rush through with a happily ever after and throw a band aid over the huge issues. 

I wish that Maggies mom was exposed and got what was coming to her. What a horrible, miserable woman. And to hide that from her "best friend" is absolutely disgusting to me. 

This was a really raw deep story and I am glad that i read it. I was just disappointed in how it ended with no repercussions to Theo's dad or Maggies mum.
