This book was a TikTok recommendation, and I’m sad to say I was disappointed. The characters had no chemistry and the writing felt very clunky. It drove me nuts how Lorenzo referred to his kids as “the children” all of the time. It felt unattached and impersonal. Lorenzo and Anni were basically strangers and their relationship didn’t ever really get better. There was no spark. When you felt like their chemistry was going to get better it just got awkward again.

I really wanted to like it but I just could not get into it.
