The plot is provided to us via accounts as told by the 4 adults on a trip in Italy. This POV was enjoyable, and unlike what I tend to find in books, as we can see 4 very different perspectives to the actions taking place.
I wouldn't recommend this to someone actively going through a separation via infidelity. Otherwise, a relaxed book all things considered
Unfortunately for me, I saw where the plot was going rather quickly. While this made me want to find out exactly what happens, in the end I was disappointed to *not* find out much more and also to be right with no major twists.

A lot of buildup for somewhat of a lackluster ending. Saw the twist coming early on and the drama that ensued just fell short. I enjoyed the multiple POVs though it made dialogue difficult to process sometimes. Difficult to invest in the characters as they were all a bit unbearable (intentionally). Bonus points for beautiful setting and imagery!
