How are people tagging this as light-hearted is beyond me, this is a story of a sad little girl - runaway child bride who'd slept with people, or should I say had been sexually taken advantage of, even before she married at 14 - who's all alone in the world and goes through all kinds of bad things in the present-time plotline of the book, including
miscarriage, numerous unwanted sexual advances, abandonment, the death of her beloved brother, a (probably accidental) entanglement with mafia and her subsequent interrogation, and more
... Light-hearted, where??

Also, for the most part, it was just boring. Yet another bleh manic pixie dream girl fantasy. I did perk up at the
mafia twist
, but by then the story was over. :(

Last but not least, heads up for a lot of racism and for some reason hate against lesbians (???).

I gave this a 4 when I read it in 2013 but I must’ve been high, or else I read a very different edition.
