Giovanna is such an interesting character. She is a child and an adult on the cusp. A story told during her 15th year, in some ways it is the story of a mission...her desire to understand sex and also her desire to avoid it. Gianna, as her aunt Vittoria calls her, has a very strong voice. I learned pretty quickly that the title of the book really tells you a lot, but that was fine. We all tell our personal lies, we all want love, and finally, we all must grow up.
