Bitter Orange by Claire Fuller
4.0

I picked up Bitter Orange because I'd read Swimming Lessons in 2018 and loved Claire Fuller's writing and sense of place. Despite liking it, Swimming Lessons still felt a little slow for me so Bitter Orange definitely absorbed me more with its sense of mystery. ⁠

I loved the pace, the dark/eerie English countryside setting, and the way that Fuller built suspense into this one. I literally couldn't put it down because every chapter ended with a bit of a cliffhanger. You wanted to see where the story was going to go and find out more about the mysterious characters. I'll definitely be looking for more by Fuller in the future. ⁠
