A review by farosh
Last Summer in the City by Gianfranco Calligarich

3.5

i was really craving a story set in italy, specifically during summer and this novel gave me exactly that so i am happy! the way the author describes nature, rome and the characters' actions is just wonderful, it was really immersive. the only thing i was struggling with was that this is so clearly written by a man during the 60s, the male main characters are all losers (in a bad way) and the female characters couldn't have been written by anyone but a man but in the end i still enjoyed reading about leo and arianna's adventures.
