this book is so incredibly well written. beautiful descriptions all throughout the book. it was hard for me to fall in love with either of the main characters cause they each had faults but not enough redeeming qualities for me to fall in love with them. the last two chapters though do make your heart ache for giovanni but not enough for it to be a cry worthy moment. all in all it was a great book and very easy/fast to read
