Flirting in Italian

review 1: Rating: 2.5/ 5The plot: The follow up to 'Flirting in Italian.' This novel continues Violet's summer journey to shop, sight see, enjoy the arts, and travel around Italy. However, her main mission continues as she seeks to uncover the truth of identity and family history. Throw in the fact that her Italian crush/love interest, Luca, may in fact be her half brother and teen female readers will be compelled to read and learn the truth.The characters: Honestly, Violet and her friends were a bit superficial to me. There are too many characters and too much going on that detracts from the main plot. Readers might feel differently if reading books 1 and 2 together, but for me, I just could not relate to or even begin to like most of the characters. Overall, I did not enjo... morey the book. The writing was just okay. The plot and characters just do not come together in a way that was meaningful for me as a reader. Maybe I would have felt differently if I'd read book 1. I would recommend this as an optional read for those looking for a moderate reading level, mystery for female interest.
review 2: Well we finally find out the truth, how convenient it was BTW. This one didn't wow me, just like the first one. I read some reviews before reading this and lots of people said this was more enjoyable so I got excited. But it wasn't better than book 1.It was a fast read, and I liked that we saw a different side to the supporting girls. I didn't really like them in book 1 but I liked then in this. I also really liked Evan!I however did not like that it took the entire book for her parents to reach and tell her the truth. And it was kinda predictable the big reveal.Overall 2 stars because it was okay, but that's all. On a side-note, why is there gonna be a book 3? The mystery was revealed, what more is there to tell? less
