I tried to like this one, I really did, but at 30% I had to DNF. Based on other reviews I knew this was going to be really cheesy and Hallmark-esque. That isn’t a bad thing but when the writing is terrible I have to draw the line somewhere. This read like a book written by an AI. The dialogue was unrealistic and cringy at best. None of the characters stood out in any meaningful way: they were all “nice” or spoke Italian or thought Erika’s grandfather was amazing. I wasn’t able to differentiate between them at a certain point. For Erika herself she is wholly unlikable (which I take offense to as my name is Erika LOL). She’s extremely rude, impatient, and acts like a standard entitled American who thinks the world revolves around her. I couldn’t see the majority of this plot actually happening in the real world because my times living in Europe did not match with this. I wanted to fall in love with it, but even the setting was poorly described and I was unable to immerse myself.
