It’s a nice book. Not my favourite from EH though. I feel like it was a mix of different genres, romance, mystery, fiction, but I feel like none of them were fleshed out enough to be properly enjoyable. The romance part was very cute and sweet, but slightly underdeveloped in comparison to her other books. It read a bit like a side quest of sorts. I did like Margaret’s side of the story too, it’s unlike every other EH book and I love her experimenting, but the first few interviews felt very slow to me, and I don’t think they are all entirely useful to the story.
Overall a nice book, I love the way EH writes and I will keep reading her books, but I don’t think this is one I’d reread often or at all.
