[ ARC Review ]
2.25 / 2.5 ⭐️
I wasn’t a big fan of Luca. I think he was very overwhelmed by his own emotions, which is why he kept going back and forth about his feelings. That wasn’t fair towards Zara, because she was 100% committed from beginning to end.
The plot felt a bit all over the place. I did enjoy the journey and found it interesting, but I just didn’t see a clear red thread throughout the book.
