3.25

The book was paced so slowly, and only started picking up about 3/4 of the way in it. Anne is quite wallflower-y in it, which although makes her character insightful and observant, tends to make her a bit dull. I did like the latter parts of the book though, much more events were happening that I felt were actually relevant to the story. Plus .25 for F.W.’s letter.
