Prose was great, lovely, bubbly. Characters fell flat especially the women - Arianna was a total Murakami girl and Eva wasn’t much better. Some very resonant scenes nonetheless. I liked Graziano.

Bought this from a display at Daunt Books. It has been compared to The Great Gatsby which was what piqued my interest. If you like books about unlikeable characters then this may be for you, but it didn't quite cut it for me.
