Not quite sure what to make of this and can't think of much to say. It didn't feel much like a story in a conventional sense - just recounting Elena's childhood in Naples and her friendship with Lila. I did get quite engrossed in all the characters and the details of their lives, but I wouldn't say I was gripped per se. I don't feel particularly inclined to read the next one! I was a bit taken aback by what the title ended up referring to, which I'm sure is what was intended
