A review by anjukris
Beneath Pale Water by Thalia Henry

1.0

This total drag of a novel is testament to the fact that Goodread reviews are unreliable metrics to assess books. The pace and so-called realism of this plot infuriated me, and I only managed to finish it by sheer will. Not only are the main protagonists insipid but also their respective backstories. One star for the backdrop being New Zealand, because the descriptions of Dunedin got me nostalgic.
