Luca was my favorite, though, with his gentle teasing and harmless flirting. His older brother, Fortino, I pitied and loved, he had such a friendly disposition. He's protective without being possessive, gallant without being perfect, and just an all-around nice guy. But after a while, I began to get past Gabi's annoying drooling and like Marcello's personality.
Marcello and I didn't hit it off at first, and it was mostly due to Gab'si oh-so-wonderful description of him on page 27. But where the two girls failed, the male characters succeeded. I dislike whiny characters, no matter how justified their moaning might be. She was too eager to go back home and it turned her into a whiner. She will never be my favorite protagonist, and I wish I had had someone else to follow along in this adventure, but I didn't end the book hating her, and that's something - especially considering my initial impression. She stopped complaining, she stopped talking about the resident hotties, and became an acceptable narrator. Because while Gabi does plenty of noticing of the prevailing "Italian hotness" surrounding her, after a while she actually grew on me a bit. Really? You've just been catapulted back into a different century, landed right in the middle of a skirmish, are separated from your sister, and that's what you're focusing on? I almost closed Waterfall right then and there, but I persevered and I'm glad I did. All she did was complain about the lack of civilization in Tuscany, and when she traveled back in time, all she could notice was how hot the guys were. 27) I was not a fan of Gabi Betarrini in the beginning. I'd never encountered such Italian hotness outside of Roma. Big, chocolate-brown eyes, square jaw, aristocratic nose, pronounced cheekbones. He was the most handsome guy I'd ever seen, with a model's physique and a face to match. I wanted to look away from him, but I couldn't. And if someone can explain to me why this book is called Waterfall, I will be eternally grateful. Cover Blurb: Yes or No? I am a fan of the castle in the background, but I don't especially care for the character impersonator.
