i didn't finish reading the bookyet... (i probably only read like, 64 pages?) but i love how they say "grazie grazie madonna mia!" ... one of my favourite phrases now...actually, i finished it! it was really good, and even though the ending was sad, i still liked it, very well written!

This book was very easy to get into. Once i picked it up i couldnt put it down because i had to know what would happen next. This book takes you through a period of a few years which makes you feel like you actually know the characters ! I highly recommend this book !
