I’m not sure how I feel about this book, I found the different stories and characters a tad confusing and lost track a few times and had to flick back to see who was who. I did like some of the humour and overall the book kept me wanting to read more. It’s the first book I’ve read by this author, but having looked at reviews for her second book in the series that seems to follow the same confusing storyline with too many characters and plots. Therefore I think this is an author I will need to give a miss.
