I enjoyed the Book Club Hotel last year, but this book mainly annoyed me. The first 40% is the characters brooding about problems that aren’t explained yet, or being generally unlikable but mysterious. The last half was still slow, but the character changes seemed to fast. The pacing was off for me, and I ended up not feeling connected to any of the characters.

I loved the Book Club Hotel last year. Sarah does it again. Imogen is a workaholic (I relate) that finds out that what she has been told her whole life is not exactly the truth and she has a loving family waiting for her. Great holiday read
