not so much a love story but more of a coming-of-age tale that lightly explores what it means to be a woman in a restrictive society—delving into the dilemma of whether compromising one’s personal identity and freedom is a worthwhile exchange for achieving social acceptance

objectively well-written, it just didn’t appeal that much to me personally

One of the easiest classics to read! I love classics but sometimes the language/prose makes it difficult to read more than a chapter or few pages a day. But this had me speed reading!

I was Confused though about the mentions of god/goddesses kissing ie Phaeton and Persephone? All the imagery made me confused as to what the purpose was; is it symbolic? Was Lucy actually seeing them?

Loved this and perfect for summer! I loved the characters and the humor/funny moments. I can see now why it’s considered a must read and can’t wait to read more from Forster! Would definitely recommend for any classics lover or readers trying to get into the classics.

A good read! Forster is so great with character. It has a happy ending, too, which I was glad to see! I'm surprised by how little of it actually took place in Italy—I was expecting there to be more. Definitely a product of its time, but I think it still holds up as a beach read.
