The Italian by T.L. Swan
3.0
GAH- so frustrating.
I gave it an extra star just for the cover model, that was brilliant marketing there I tell you. That man was the only reason I read this book after reading the reviews.
I hated that the author used the phrase "their face fell" about 1x every 5 pages. It did not fit and was over used.
It was a bit of an angsty read for me, so much happened and it felt like too much. Too much emotional drama- I was so disappointed in Enrico, I had hoped he would have cared for her more to not be sleeping with prostitutes while they were apart. Spoiler? oops.
Not feeling very charitable at the moment... the author managed to keep me from dnf'ing it but I was not very happy about it. So it is well written, just the characters and their actions were upsetting. Maybe that is what the author wanted- mission accomplished. I just won't be reading more from her.
