New drinking game: Take a shot of limoncello every time this book mentions Mount Etna is in the background. Cheers!

They weren't all plot important, you're definitely right there. I just felt like it muddied up the story a bit. Like the hockey player? Has he been in previous books? It left me feeling a bit nutty.
see, i don't know, bc i haven't read the first one yet! i do have it from the library though so i'll find out soon, lol. i know what you mean about it muddying the story a bit, but on the other hand, i'd have found it weird if this were a week-long pre-wedding party with only like six people at it, lol. is there a word for characters that are necessary for set dressing but not for plot? XD
