    I’m having a really hard time with this. The constant references to Italy and Italian culture in this outlandish jersey Guido fashion are over the top in a way that feels cringey instead of comedic. And we just had a major plot point (mentioned in blurb) that was totally emotionless. Maybe it’s a writing style issue, but I was expecting something more litfic and this feels more Colleen Hoover-esque

    I don’t know the last time I read a standalone short story, but the emotional weight of these 30 pages was so impressive I may have to dive into them more often. Need to reread 3 more times to fully understand, but the love, loyalty, and valor shown here are quintessential knight in shining armor shit and I loved

    Ok I know it’s early but as an Italian woman the same age as the FMC who is also from the same area of the US I’m feeling a strong connectjon right now

    These sassy nuns have to be some of my favorite side characters. Reminding me so much of the nuns in Matrix by Lauren Groff
