Opinion:
This book was really good! I liked how the author describes everyone's actions so well. The characters were very well developed, and they each had their own set of character traits. The storyline was great, and it was well developed like the characters. The author had a unique writing style, because she used Italian words in some parts, but then explained them with context clues. All in all, it was a very good book.
