4.0

Apart from the ending not being my cup of tea, I did really enjoy being on this journey with Alice and Mattia, seeing them attract each other and push away again and trying to mould their lives around their difficult pasts. 

From time to time, the way the characters think and behave themselves made me think of Sally Rooney’s writing and all in all, this novel is not going to make you high on life, but the execution of the characters’ trauma is well done imo and I might pick up something else by him to see what else he might do.
