The Italy Letters by Vi Khi Nao

Did not finish book. Stopped at 33%.
DNF @ 33%

This was pitched as an epistolary novel, but instead, it’s one long letter that’s much more stream of conscious and not letter-like at all. There’s something about the protagonist that’s really rubbing me the wrong way and that I’m not enjoying. This style of writing isn’t my jam, especially if the protagonist isn’t going to grow/learn, but I can definitely see folks who like books like this - messy protagonist, “no plot, just vibes,” and stream-of-conscious writing.

Unfortunately, I won’t be finishing this. Thank you to the publisher for the ARC!
