jillbasilone 's review for:
Siracusa
by Delia Ephron
I received copy of Siracusa from Blue Rider Press through a Goodreads giveaway!
The story is told through four different people. Two couples go on vacation to Italy. Lizzie and Michael with Taylor and Finn. Taylor and Finn bring along their daughter Snow. Snow is incredible shy and you only hear of her talking a handful of times through the entire book. Right from the start I knew she was going to play a major role in this story.
While I love the alternating points of view, as it always keeps me turning pages, I felt that the beginning of the story was slow. The big plot twist comes at the very very end so you need to enjoy the rest of the story to appreciate the book. If you simply looking for a thriller, I don't think this is the book for you. Overall I enjoyed the book but wished that there was a bit more suspense throughout the entire book, not just at the end.
