Never has a book made me feel so much than this one, I cried so much reading this.
Carlo made me so sad
this book felt so real because it's like I loved it and I was laughing out loud at some bits but ngl sobbing at others. Takes a while to get into because you need to have some kind of knowledge of Greece/Italy around WW2 but would 100% recommend it to anyone.
