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?

A lot of the book is weird for the sake of being weird, and so that it can flex that it's hard to understand. It flexed on me hard, but at the end of the day I can just make up my own meaning, and therefore, with what i got from this book, it's pretty ok

Out of all the tropes, found family is THE ONE.
This is a story full of heart, which made me like all of the MCs (and there are many) despite their flaws. Even though there are a lot of characters and perspectives to follow, each one feels complete and meaningful.
