I really liked that Frances was already established as being gay/liking women, rather than this being a new experience for both of them. The detail of her previous relationship (and the fact she still hangs out with her ex lol) felt very realistic. I'm still not really sure how I feel about Lillian.

I don't dislike it, but I don't love it, but I couldn't put it down.
I think I would read another one of Sarah Waters' books, mainly to see if it's the writing I didn't vibe with, or just the particular characters in this story.

The only reason it didn't reach 5 stars is because Part 3 does slow down the pace significantly, despite the fact that is the tensest part of the book.
