This book didn’t connect with me and I’m not certain why. I found it rarely humorous and I didn’t care for Maria. This is very odd for me! I may/may not finish it. The other reviews may spur me on to continue since it is a good story and so well written. This is my first attempt to review here and I’m disappointed that I didn’t engage.

I found myself laughing at Artie, and especially his toupees with all of their ridiculous names. (Shades of Carl Reiner as Alan Brady on the Dick Van Dyke Show!!) Also, his self-aggrandizement was tragically funny. I liked Artie in spite of his foibles and flaws.
Maria's Italian family was also a source of comic relief! I would have loved to join them for Sunday dinner to see their interactions in person. They were vibrant, believable characters I couldn't help but love.
