I expected to love this book. A story about a bookworm who prefers to have her head in a book than deal with the nonsense of the real world? That's me, so sign me up!

Unfortunately, I found this book hard to follow. Victoria is in her head for a lot of the book and I couldn't tell whether it was the real world or her fantasy world we were seeing most of the time. But even more than that, there's a difference between choosing your books and hiding from your life. Victoria uses her books as a way to escape having to deal with the reality of her dysfunctional marriage. By the end, I was frustrated by her.

 

A huge thank you to the author and the publisher for providing an e-ARC via Netgalley. This does not affect my opinion regarding the book.

Couldn’t get into it. Writing was dull and all the characters were extremely unlikable.
