amythibodeau 's review for:

Siracusa by Delia Ephron

4.0

---

This book is probably more like a 3.5/5 than a four, but it was a compelling, solid summer read. My main criticism is that it was clear to me who I was meant to like and dislike through the writing and that felt a bit manipulative and too "on the nose". A more subtle and nuanced approach to character would have been more effective and believable.
