Read this book on the recommendation of my Book Club. If you like suspense stories this book is for you. I did enjoy it, but found the ending disappointing.

What a waste of my time! This was suggested by my Book Club. Otherwise I wouldn’t have read this book. The storyline jumps from one scenario to another. Each character could have had a separate book written about them. Found the author’s writing style annoying as she rambles & doesn’t use quotation marks to indicate when someone is speaking so it becomes confusing at times. The only positive I could say about this book is the descriptions of the City of Florence. Couldn’t wait to finish reading it!!!!!!!!!What a waste of my time! This was suggested by my Book Club. Otherwise I wouldn’t have read this book. The storyline jumps from one scenario to another. Each character could have had a separate book written about them. Found the author’s writing…

Matthew Perry’s autobiography was terrible! He rambled, repeated himself & “name dropped” while showing what an egomaniac he is! His alcoholism & drug addiction is out of control! Hopefully he’ll get the mental help he obviously needs.

I enjoyed reading Prince Harry’s memoir. He faced so much in his life right from a young age. I wanted to get my own perspective on his life rather than listening to mixed reviews. So glad I read it!
