White as Silence, Red as Song by Alessandro D'Avenia
3.0
An unusual read from NetGalley. A hit in Italy, but I think this will be one of those Marmite books.
Leo is 16, in love with a girl in his school that he’s never spoken to and a bit of a slacker. He seems to hate school, but then a philosophy teacher comes as a substitute and helps him start to make sense of life.
Throughout the book it was obvious he wasn’t in love with Beatrice, but the idea of her. He was totally insensitive to Sylvia and her feelings for him, but I suppose things worked out okay in the end.
