5 posts | 4 read | 6 to read
There are summers that will change your life. There are summers that may end it. In the lush green hills beyond Florence sits the Villa Medicia graceful pensione surrounded by manicured gardens. Rachel, a college student from an unfashionable London suburb, cant believe her luck in landing a summer job here. Especially when shes drawn into a circle of privileged young sophisticates, including her glamorous coworker Diana, who promises to help Rachel win the affections of handsome, confident Sebastian. But as champagne flows and rivalries fester in the Tuscan countryside, Rachel realizes that Diana has motivations of her own. Adrift in a world of backstabbing and bed-hopping, lavish parties and easy betrayal, Rachel feels the stakes rising along with the temperature until, one night, something snaps. Someone dies. And nothing will ever be the same In this atmospheric thriller set in sun-drenched Tuscany, Lizzy Barber weaves a deadly web of manipulation and desire that will keep readers enthralled until the breathtaking last page.

Well, so far I've invested 9 hours into this book and I'm now ready to just call it quits. I don't like the characters, it is very slow paced, and nothing interesting has really happened at all. I'm going to try to finish it off but I don't think this will be a pick unless truly astounding happens! And yet, I seen to be the minority in my opinion here...

I really enjoyed this one, however I started it on audible and didn‘t enjoy it at all. The paperback made this a much better story. It‘s from Rachel‘s POV and the narrators voice just didn‘t fit. It was easy to see the villain, but the end makes you question Rachel‘s sanity despite Diana‘s gas lighting. Book #10 in 2023

This book has a very unlikeable cast of characters. Valentina was the only one with any redeeming qualities. Regardless of that it held my attention and I wanted to see where it went. The ending wasn‘t very satisfying

This ticks all the boxes of what you want in a good thriller. An under graduate from Cambridge goes to work as a maid in Florence and gets sucked into the ‘Mean Girls‘ world of the privileged rich kids out there. It jumps back and forth from then to now which is good but the ‘Now‘ chapters dragged a bit at times. The ending was very dark and not what I expected at all!!! Overall, a cracking read!
