A review by bookishbrighton
Dear Laura by Gemma Amor
2.0
Disclaimer: this is not the sort of book I would normally read so this rating will not be accurate for the genre!
I liked the idea of the chapters flirting between ‘then’ and ‘now’ and feel like it helped the story along, but I found the now chapters in the woods a bit tiresome - I almost feel like it could have been the first chapter, then have just had all the ‘then’ chapters, then it revert back to now at the end. The ending fell a bit flat for me - I wanted there to be more of a twist, but I do think that may be because this isn’t the sort of book I would normally read.
