A hard book to rate, can't decide between 4.75 or 5 stars. Reading experience wise it's a 4.75, but the story in itself with all the complexity of human nature, love, politics, all that jazz deserves a full score.

Gorgeous writing and storytelling. Reminded me of Embers by Sandor Marai, The Museum of Abandoned Secrets, and Evelyn Hugo.

I’m going to read and reread this book all summer. The most beautiful love story I’ve ever read. A perfect summer read

A strong contender for best book I've read this year. Poignant. Internal thoughts and feelings are written about beautifully. Heartbreaking to witness the slow unravelling.

Should’ve known better than to read a book where a central plot point is the characters love for Giovanni’s Room bc now I’m crying
