4.0

Not sure I’ve read a book like this before that explores living in different dimensions. It is very cleverly written, carefully crafted tension that actually made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck a few times. It didn’t matter how hard I tried I genuinely couldn’t predict what might happen next, something I think many authors struggle to achieve. The characters are really interestingly written and whilst I found myself sympathetic towards Laura, there is something special about Will that means he is definitely locked into my vault of all time favourite characters. 

Many of my favourite books are set during WW2 but this is my first set in Bath. This was a genuinely interesting part of history I knew nothing about and definitely reading more around the ‘Bath Blitz’ is something I will pursue in the future. 

My only issue with this book is the final chapter, I felt slightly robbed of a suitable ending for Laura. From other reviews I’ve read since finishing the book, this appears to be a feeling amongst many. 

A solid 4 star read that I would happily recommend to others.
