🎧 On finishing this it’s clear I’ve either read it already (but Goodreads says ‘No’ 😳) or another read that was very similar. This one is told in the form of past and present timelines which is always a love of mine. In this instance it felt like both timelines were extremely drawn out and the pace just dragged. For that reason I got a little bored as it felt like there wasn’t really much happening. It lacked the suspense factor to turn the pages but that could also be down to the fact I felt I already knew the story. It has both likeable and unlikeable characters. It’s a well thought out storyline with well developed characters but the pace really let it down for me.
