Our Italian Summer by Jennifer Probst
1.0
Oof. Francesca is the worst. And I don’t think it was fully intentional. I also wondered if some of the character aspects I couldn’t stand were because I had similar experiences, but no. That doesn’t cover it either.
Allegra - fine.
Grandma - meh.
Francesca - awful.
I barely made it through the book. About a quarter of the way in, I wanted to give up. But I also wanted to see if it was a purposefully terrible character, or if there was some grand redemption, so I dragged myself through it.
I guess I also excepted a higher level of “reality” since this was also meant to be a family connection, repair, etc.
So disappointing! I was hoping to love it so I would have another series to get sucked into, but that’s not where it ended up landing for me
