Review: There may be a moral here...

I had several problems with this book.  The first was that it was not written sequentially, it kept fluctuating between present day and the past, with no segue.  It was a bit disconcerting.  I could not really tell where the book took place.  There were several references to the U.S., however, it is a big Italian family with a corporation, and their friends are all Italian..so it would seem to be in Italy.  The moral of the book should be:  if you are a woman with self esteem issues, do not get involved with a great looking guy.  I got so tired of the heroine whining to herself (and him) about her supposed shortcomings that no one else ever saw. He mentioned something, and suddenly it was a great idea, no matter how opposed to she was before.  However the inadvertent joke in the book is this quote: "three days of driving could put her as far as three hundred miles".  What was she driving, a pack mule team?  You can drive three hundred miles in a few hours.  Think before you commit something to a story, authors.
