At first I found Lina almost annoyingly American (yes she's an American in Italy, annoyingly so) but I grew to love her very quickly.

it was frustrating to see her jump to conclusions so fast sometimes, JUST READ AHEAD A BIT. it might be difficult emotionally but don't go charging around saying 'hey! you're my dad!' without knowing the full story. loved the parallels between Lina and Hadley, but also how different they were at times

 loved the book :) will be reading the rest soon
