2.0
Not my favorite book.
It starts off so boring, and then when it picks up we learn about Charlie and Isabelle. And that was something. The book seems to have a cycle of boring to somewhat interesting back to boring again.
It reads like a modern Bronte book.
Also like the whole sisters plot and the secrets about the sisters kinda made no sense. Because like why not be honest-ish about it? But eh.
The ending with Araulius was a bit over the top for my liking. And then the whole twin the with Margaret Lea throughout the whole book was so weird to me?? Like? What?
