History
Niki and her friends are in their last year of school. Despite the maturity they have combined all the colors of each day. Parades, parties, raves and all possible events outside Rome. Alex is a "boy" of almost thirty-seven. He just left for no real reason and with his longtime girlfriend. A world revolves around him enjoyable and complicated: his parents, his sisters married and have children and then his three friends Henry, Flavio and Peter, they also all already married, but each with its own characteristics. Henry is jealous, Flavio methodical, but Peter is obsessed with women all over the world. Alex is an advertising and has great responsibility in his company. But it just got a young rampant that threatens his job. And all this would be nothing if not met that morning Alex Niki. Or rather, if the two do not clash. Niki is a beautiful girl, it's fun, is intelligent, witty, and cheerful. There is only one small detail. He was seventeen. Twenty years younger than Alex. And after the meeting that morning, nothing will ever be. The adult world collides with that of adolescents. And here's mothers and daughters in an ongoing discussion, dad and kids are still young boys who are already too old. Still dreaming girls, girls disappointed, romantic girls and boys too crazy. And instead of adults who have put aside all their dreams and live, or survive better, not daring to stop and think. This novel is the desire to regain their freedom, the desire to have true feelings of love free from conventions and without much reason. It is the everyday life but is also the dream. It's enough to want to say that tomorrow that we tell ourselves every day, in which we are always confident that we will do something special. But meanwhile the days go by, and that tomorrow never came. There is no trace of him. So here is our escape, the most beautiful, craziest, most insane. A romantic getaway. And then that lighthouse. In short, a dive where the water is bluer. Nothing more.
Comment
Another love story told by Federico Moccia, this time a thirty-seven players advertising, Alex and a teenage girl of seventeen, Niki. Honestly
of the three is what I liked least, perhaps a little too obvious.
The author attempts to contextualize this history, entering the world of the more than thirty (almost forty now), dealing with the discomfort of those who finds himself no longer a teenager but still with many questions about the future.
along the lines of the movie the last kiss, this novel follows the story of a little too much I want you, especially in the final.
a good idea to try to take a target readership slightly wider than the first two but not entirely successful.
Sometimes the story seems a little too forced, even if sliding.
Like other novels by the author also I think this is a good read "from under the umbrella on the beach."
