  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

I really enjoyed it, I loved the complexity of Lila and Lenú's characters. The way Nino's character acted as a bridge between them was very interesting as well. I especially liked the chapters of the summer they spent in Ischia, before it all fell apart.
