The only reason I picked up this book was that I kept thinking about how I read it a dozen times back in middle school, and could just not rest until I found it and read it again, since my memory of it was hazy.

It was good. Very devastating, and even more so when I, in fact, have known girls who went through the exact same hardships as Anita here. And Vannina, too. Like, the exact same hardships, a whole continent and several decades away from 1980s Sicily.

I'm not rating higher because there were so many things left unanswered and it irritates me. What in the world ended up happening with Rosanna and Aurelia? My heart is breaking.
