I loved the book until the point where kate died. After that I started to get tired of it as she and Luciano together made the book exciting. Once holly had told luciano that she loved him, that is when i began to get annoyed with him and her as it made me realise that kate's love was not enough for luciano or maybe that he didnt truly love her or even that he just didnt want to be alone. I really wanted kate and luciano to have a baby together and start their lives with one another not him marrying her sister and having a baby with her. The ending bugs me and it just doesn't seem right as Luciano was madly in love with Kate and tried so hard to be in a relationship with her and marry, it just doesn't seem realistic that he would forget about her once she has died and to marry her sister and to have a baby with her. Her sister also doesn't seem to care about Kate as she acts as mother to them as soon as Kate passed away. I was really hoping that Kate and Luciano would have the perfect ending and have a baby together as they was so cute together and i was hoping that they would live the life they wanted. It really annoys me that it ended badly and i would really like to read an ending where they have the life they wanted and the ending Kate deserved. Apart from holly being selfish and ruining the plot, the book was amazing and so romantic.
