jperine 's review for:

Last Summer in the City by Gianfranco Calligarich

3.0

---

3.25 stars. The Great Gatsby meets Giovanni’s Room…in Rome…but worse. The first half & last chapter of this book are gorgeous. The rest is meh with really lackluster characters. “We are what we are not because of the people we’ve met but because of those we’ve left.”
