Never Again So Close

This was a free Kindle download at some point that I started reading several years ago and finally picked up again and finished on a recent trip. It was beautifully written, but I spent most of the book wondering what the point of it all was. The protagonist, Antonia, says at one point that she can't forgive Vittorio for making her into a cliché, and really, that was probably my biggest issue with the book. She just seemed like a cliché of a woman who will let a man completely control their relationship because of some notion of love, which seems to be based purely on their physical relationship or his alluring nature that enables him to get away with being a jerk. It was fine for an airplane read, but I wouldn't recommend it.
