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

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.
