One Italian Summer by Rebecca Serle

Did not finish book. Stopped at 10%.
I could not get past how this girl thought her mother was the love of her life instead of her husband and that her dad was not her mothers love of her life. Like parent child relationships and husband wife relationships are so different and honestly she felt toxic. Like just say you’re bored in your marriage. The first 2 chapters were all I could get through because I could not stop rolling my eyes at how this girl romanticized her relationship with her mom.
