challenging emotional informative sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.0

I enjoyed the story overall, but I do wish it focused more on Sarah’s POV. I felt the author went into a little too much random detail about Julia’s life, and the ending was weird and unnecessary.

This was fine. Not what I was expecting. I enjoyed the first hundred pages(except the writing style). Then we lose a narrative part that I was enjoying way more. We started just focusing on Julie and how she felt about the things that happened and her stupid husband. Honestly while I was reading I had plot points that would have made this better and when they didn’t happen and it was just about Julia I was disappointed. That being said I am happy I read this because I honestly didn’t really know that these events took place in France.
