It feels weird giving this "book" a review. It's Petrarch, how can I rate his work? But yet, here I am doing it. I read this for school and I'm going to analyse it soon with my professor however I read it on my own and unexpectedly understood it. I'll even say that I really enjoyed diving into the author's mind and exploring his internal moral conflict. It was so fascinating (still not easy). A LOT of Cicero, Ovid and Virgil's quotes.
