I really enjoyed this book. I read this while vacationing in Italy because I wanted a book set in Italy. The main protagonist, Katy, was very upset about her mother dying and is basically lost. I’ve seen a lot of negative reviews about her character and it’s obvious that these people have never met anyone who’s extremely dependent on their parent even as an adult. I know someone who doesn’t make a decision without consulting their mom so I was able to empathize with Katy’s predicament. She is 27 in the book but she definitely acts a lot younger and it’s because she never knew herself or made any decision on her own.
