rr 2024 - still as obsessed as i was three years ago... in fact even more so. need me a nico xx

***********

i am obsessed with this book. here are my intial thoughts:

1. nico could literally run me over and i would thank him for his service to the mafia
2. the abellis need to adopt me i love them
3. nonna needs her own book
4. why does adriana remind me of elain? she just wants to be with her gardener y'all leave her be
5. get you a man who burns down a gas station for you xx
6. NICO COULD RUN ME OVER AND I WOULD THANK HIM FOR HIS SERVICE TO THE MAFIA

good chemistry between the characters, no insta-love (thank god) and a guy who isn't a total asshole? um yes please. elena and nico work perfectly with each other and i loved their relationship developing throughout the book.

“But the truth was, I didn’t think there was another person in this world who could make me feel safer.”

5 stars! easily one of my best reads of 2021. highly recommend!
