Eliot has some really lovely prose but the plot was so meh and a slog … that ending felt like a massive middle finger 😭

There are many great things about this book (the prose, Maggies character etc) but it is also very frustrating. The plot kinda peters off and the ending is abrupt and stupid.

Tragic, moving and incredible! I couldn’t put this one down. I wanted to read this because a YouTuber that I follow said this is one of their worst books ever read and it made me very curious as to why but I absolutely loved it.
