Terrible. Didn’t connect with any of the characters, didn’t like that it was written from multiple points of view as it was done really badly. Got the most background and slight connection with Madeline but she constantly whined about her life and her ill nephew. Plot was pretty shocking, set in different settings in Paris but none were really done justice. Hated the use of random French words interchangeably- even if there was a glossary at the back. Loads of errors with the wrong printed word or a missing word which should have been removed in the editing process and they kept taking me out of the story. A struggle to finish and a dull ending.
