⭐⭐⭐

I quite liked this story. The prologue was quite gripping and descriptive, and I really felt Lucy and the nurses’ fear. I feel like I have a good grip on who Lucy is. She absolutely loved her job as doctor with the MSF, and it was quite a big jump for her to join the upper-class clinic in Italy. She had a very hard time reconciling the huge wealth difference between the patients in the clinic and the MSF patients.

I had a harder time locking David down. Initially he seemed to be extremely depressed, but that changed, without too much explanation. Lucy definitely played a role in bringing David back to life. But he seemed to be mostly a prop for Lucy’s dreams.

I just couldn’t really identify with Lucy’s dilemma. Yes, as a doctor she makes an invaluable contribution, but imagine how much more she can do as a doctor with access to a lot of money. And even though she seriously contemplated accepting David’s proposal, she still saw herself as a completely separate entity, and never even considered discussing her conflicting thoughts with him.

On a different note, I always enjoy the author’s description of Italy, it really makes me want to go there.

Thank you to Canelo and Netgalley for providing me with an ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
