This book ended exactly where I wanted it to, and completely ruined it along the way. it turned into an elaborate story of how they met...
the biggest problem I had was keeping track of who was who. Ella and Ellen. Jim and Jimmie. Alec and Andy, not to mention the other Andy. I didn't realize until near the end that Mary and Bessie, despite their similar stories, had never actually interacted.
It was a decent book, but reading accents grates on my nerves, as important as it is to set the atmosphere. And the intermittent periods where I just didn't care about what was happening to the characters was a bit of a drag. more my fault then the authors though.
But the events in London towards the end were very touching. it was a great part.
