Unwrapping the Castelli Secret by Caitlin CrewsMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This book is filled with “uber” drama, deception, betrayal and two of the most unsuited h/h!!!
I couldn’t get past with both Rafael and Lily had done to each other. I disliked Rafael intensely. His behavior towards Lily when she was a teenager was so despicable. Sleeping with loads of women in between seducing Lily in coat cupboards and other sneaky places. I totally got that she would want to get him right out of her life. To love someone so selfish and self-centered was just not healthy for her.
However, the way Lily left her life and Rafael behind was something I could never understand. She was being as selfish as him.
The cruelty and disdain they had for each other was really not a good thing to see. I actually didn’t believe that the two could ever overcome their past and find happiness together.
I did think the plot was pretty good and different from the norm and the story was well paced. I loved the settings….in particular, Venice. The vivid imagery was really well written.
I am sure there are many readers who will like this book a lot but for me….it was okay.
PS…Does anyone name their child Arlo these days???? I found Lily’s son’s name a bit hard to "chew" on!!!!!
