maryleong 's review for:

Greenwich Park by Katherine Faulkner

1.0

---

(1.5/5) I don't understand all the positive reviews because this was probably one of the most boring books I've ever read, almost DNF. Helen, our protagonist, pretty much deserves all the terrible things that happen to her. Right from the start, she's a pushover with no conception of boundaries and a complete inability to assert her agency. From whining about how her sister-in-law seems to have more friends than her, to passive-aggressively dealing with Rachel (and then getting annoyed when she doesn't take the hint), Helen is simply an unlikeable character, and not in a fun, antihero kind of way. The story plods on and is extremely slow going until the last few chapters. Save your time and go read something else.
