3.46 AVERAGE


2024: I did not realize I had tried this before! I completed it this time and it was nothing amazing, but fine.

2019: This was selected for bookclub. I didnt hate it, but just could get interested in it. I am just not a Kate Atkinson fan. DNF

DID NOT FINISH: 22%

Just found it so boring to be honest! Had to force myself to even pick it up. Too many characters of little relevance and a repetitive plot

I was disappointed by this book, it set out to be a really good spy novel centred around a female spy during WWII. Unfortunately I cannot identify any facets to this character other than that she's funny. She spends most of her time lusting after any male that looks her way.
