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. | |

Characterization Marches On | |
Three Steps Over Heaven / int_479f9ad0 | comment |
Characterization Marches On: Step has completely lost his "bad boy" streak. Now, he's a rich, dull, contemplative guy who's bored with his life and spends his time thinking about the past. In the second book, Gin was a free-spirited, assertive, and determined girl who was willing to do crazy things for love. In this book, she's a saintly and long-suffering Extreme Doormat. | |

The Reveal | |
Three Steps Over Heaven / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: We knew Pollo died in a motorcycle accident at the end of the first book. Here, thanks to a very old letter written by Pollo before his death, we learn that before dying, Pollo had recently found out that he had a disability and the doctor wanted to force him to use a wheelchair. So, Pollo intentionally drugged himself the day of the motorcycle accident, and his death was actually a suicide. | |

Stalker with a Crush: Gin. At first it looks like a normal Boy Meets Girl story, but later it's revealed that Gin has been obsessed with Step for years, and she had many pictures of him and knew everything about his life, much time before they actually met each other. Even their "casual" first meeting was planned by the girl. | |

Only Known by Their Nickname: All the main characters, whose first names are almost never used. Not only we have "Babi" (we can assume it's a nickname) and Step (Stefano), but Babi's best friend is nicknamed Pallina ("Little Ball") while Step's best friend is nicknamed Pollo ("Chicken"). In the sequel, there's also Gin, short for Ginevra. | |

Three Steps Over Heaven / int_b0a529cb | comment |
Extreme Doormat: Gin. 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. | |

Jerkass: Step and Babi. Just because she's unsatisified with her own marriage (not to mention, treating her husband badly), Babi deliberately chases after her ex-boyfriend Step who is now in a happy relationship with another woman, even when Step is about to marry Gin. Step cheats on his pregnant wife Gin, just because Gin is too "perfect and boring", he can't resist the hotness of his ex-girlfriend Babi, and even secretly buys an attic where he and Babi can spend their time together. And after Gin's death, he moves in with Babi, ready to live with her, his and Babi's son, and Gin's newborn baby. | |
