3.0

I only read this book because of the setting,  a place I had visited recently and loved. Unfortunately, only half the book takes place there. In general, I would call this a bougie soap opera, a book exploring the vexed relationships between four mostly unlikable people. There's a bit of a mystery element at the end. If you liked the Sicily season of The White Lotus, this is the book for you!
