A review by cossettereads
Rome in Love by Anita Hughes

1.0

As someone who's favourite film is Roman Holiday, I was really excited to read this book. The plot of the book seemed promising, but as another Goodreads reviewer put it, was a trainwreck in execution. In fact, I'd prefer to be hit by said train right now. It'd probably hurt less. In addition to a convoluted plot (which was full of plot holes) and an overabundance of adjectives and descriptions, it was completely disrespectful to Audrey Hepburn. I cannot fathom having the audacity to create fictional letters of Audrey's, discussing and complaining about those she loved most. As someone who looks up to and adores Audrey Hepburn, it was incredibly upsetting to see her painted in this way. I really don't think Hughes did any research on Audrey's relationships with Gregory Peck, William Wyler, etc.

In Amelia fashion, I'm going to get off my computer and drink enough that I pass out and hopefully forget I ever read this book.
