Not just about the Mob, but about the infamous outlaws of the depression era. If you‘re a fan of mafia movies, you‘ll like this. Quick read overview histories.

I loved all the mysteriousness and tension in this dark mafia romance. I liked how total opposite the two MCs were and yet how they worked so well together. I want to read more books like this. 4 ⭐️

Currently reading Sweet Temptation (tagged). A Mafia romance featuring an arranged marriage and an age gap between the two MCs.
The best fitting song I can think of is A Matter of Trust by Billy Joel. In the song a man admits he is not perfect but will try to be for her and vice versa.

⭐️.5 The 1st DNF in a while. Made it to 65% & decided to find joy in my life again & just stop reading this. I had high hopes, but the execution was all tell zero show. Impossible to keep track of characters. There wasn‘t a plot. It wasn‘t an epic sweeping tale of friendship. No mafia action. No character development. Surprised it was a #BOTM pick at all. No Karen from Goodfellas vibes! No Carmella queens in this book. I could go on…

Romance are my favourire genre besides fantasy and thriller. And I found so many sultry in them.

Coppola‘s films adhered very closely to this novel, but fortunately they left out a few of the more cringeworthy chapters Such as the whole after story of Lucy Mancini. So as a huge fan of the films, I really enjoyed the book despite such episodes.
Puzo‘s world seems very real and his characters are brutal but also mostly sympathetic.
Looking forward to a rewatch.
