Reviews

[elle]

I understand why I loved this series when I was younger, but reading it after 10+ plus years, it was definitely not the vibe. It put me to sleep several times because it was so slow moving.

Also, the author trying to write in an Italian accent annoyed me. She'd use words like "feet" for "fit", "ees" for "is"... bruh.

Younger me would've given this 4 or 5 stars.
23 year old me would rate this 2½ stars at most.
