Lost Property
by Helen Paris
I have a bit of mixed feelings about this book.
I can't say I enjoyed it, but on the other hand I can't say i hated it.
Firstly, it's definitely not what I expected (and I'm not sure in a good way). After reading the blurb I expected sort of feel-good-story about Dot finding herself and making sense of her life while trying hard to help and older man to find his late wife's purse. What I got was a story of grief, losing a parent, death, missed opportunities. It definitely wasn't a feel good story.
The story is filled with irrelevant details which kind of blurr the plot and more often than not I found myself thinking "what's going on here?".
Writing wasn't bad but I struggled at times to go on and few times I was thinking of DNFing it. The last 1/4 of the book, when all the pieces started to fall in place, was interesting and I enjoyed it (much more than the rest of the book).
Trigger warnings: loss of a parent, suicide
