Three Steps Over Heaven	comment	Three Steps Over Heaven (Italian: Tre metri sopra il cielo, which literally means Three meters above the sky) is an Italian novel by Federico Moccia. It was first published in 1992, but becomes hugely popular only with its reprint in 2004. Only one year before the success of The Twilight Saga, in Italy there was another popular teen romance novel, targeted explicitly at teenage audiences. The plot is basic: good girl falls in love with Troubled, but Cute boy.Due to the popularity with the Target Audience in early 2000s, Moccia also wrote a sequel in 2006, Ho voglia di te ("I want you"), and both books have a movie adaptation. A few years later, a Spanish remake of the film (Tres metros sobre el cielo) and relative sequel (Tengo ganas de ti) were released. In 2017, eleven years after Ho voglia di te, another sequel titled Tre Volte Te was released as a conclusion of the story, but it's the only one without a movie adaptation.The 2020 Netflix series Summertime is inspired by this saga.

When she finds out that Step has been cheating on her with Babi throughout most of the book, she decides to turn a blind eye and doesn't tell Step anything, despite being pregnant. She doesn't even tell Step that she has a terminal illness, until she actually dies, after giving birth to the baby. Step is also more passive, he just lets the things happen to him. He barely even reacts when Babi suddenly reveals to him that he's the father of Babi's six-year-old son. And he doesn't even react when Pallina suddenly gives him a letter from Step's deceased friend Pollo with an extremely important revelation about the real reason of Pollo's death... after more than eight years.
