Though I've read alot of crazy books with broken men, I haven't read about anyone quite like Marcello. He truly is a broken man. It doesn't bother me because I'm drawn to the emotional part of it. The decision to include both points of view for this story was wise because it allows you to fully understand the character traits and the overarching plot.
It's enjoyable to watch Marcello and Catalina change, and the story is well worth reading. I have nothing negative to say about Catalina. She isn’t striking or formidable, but it's also not insignificant. Reading about these characters together is amazing.

"𝐌𝐚𝐲𝐛𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞, 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈'𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫. 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐲𝐛𝐞," 𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐨𝐛, "𝐦𝐚𝐲𝐛𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮."
This book is good, but it's way too dark. I don't often come across books with this many engaging elements. This book is fuelled by 2 different timelines filling in information drom both past and present. It is truly miraculous that Marcello is so "normal" given his "upbringing" and parents. The rape of Lina, as narrated by Marcello, is the darkest scene in the book. The way his father was. I truly need some time to process it. However, I really liked the parts in the book where Lina and Marcello were together; they learned everything from each other and grew closer over time.
Thou not my fav in the series. I love it no less.
