I thought that the incorporation of linguistics with the backdrop of such a culturally rich setting could've had so much potential. Not to mention the relationship dynamic that the writer was trying to portray. Yet the character was simply intolerable. It felt like reading the internal monologue of a "pick-me" (I don't particularly like using that phrase however I would suppose it is the best way to describe this character). I felt like the story really just fell flat with its ridiculous portrayal of romance.

christygsp's review against another edition
Sounded like an interesting premise but I was so utterly distracted by the juvenile writing that I barely made it past page 2.
I’m sorry, but we spent almost that many pages lamenting on people not pronouncing her name correctly… but her doing NOTHING about it except to silently resign herself to the fact (you can actually correct people in the moment you know).
Then we met the Italian boy.. oh sorry, man… who wasn’t like anyone else - unless of course you count almost every single “cool guy” Italian love interest in every romance movie ever made.
Yeah this was just not it for me and I laughed, rolled my eyes and gave up all within the span of ten minutes.
