This book pulled me out of a reading slump and I had a good time with it! Loved the Italian setting and enjoyed Hannah’s evolution. The ending felt a bit abrupt and I would have liked one or two chapters from Summer’s POV, but I can appreciate that the reader not knowing why the tragedy happened mirrors the way the friend group doesn’t understand it, either.
