Fun book to read if you don't want to think, or want to give your brain a little rest. I liked how there was no dilly dallying, as soon as she broke up with her boyfriend the love interest was LOCKED THE F*CK IN. Now, we're not going to talk about the borderline stalkerish behavior. I also liked how her parents took accountability for mistreating the protagonist in her childhood, there was something healing in that scene.

It could have been a solid 4. It's a fine story, written pretty well and with some interesting themes and parallels. HOWEVER, we must all reflect on the fact that, apparently, the author refuses to let her books be translated into Italian because she fears being recognized whenever she travels to Venice. What are you even on about right now?!
Donna Leon, if you're reading this, hi hello, BUT GIRL! WHAT? Who are you? How can you even live with a head as big as that?
