Friends and Strangers by J. Courtney Sullivan
3.0

I really disliked how the perspective changed from Elisabeth to Sam and back throughout the story but the narration remained the same.

The build up to the major conflicts was almost too much and the conflicts were rushed with little explanation. I suppose that could have been the point, however, if I’m going to read 700 pages, more depth would be expected.

I did, however, enjoy the story. The character development was excellent and the setting was well described. There were side plots that weren’t tied up at the end (Elisabeth’s parents having an affair, Elisabeth’s sister, the grill, London), but I kind of like imaging different outcomes for the scenarios.
