The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner
3.0
3.5 stars
Not bad by any means just not what I was hoping for. I enjoyed the parallel plots in different times and i really liked the idea of a shop that sells poison for women to kill the men that wronged them. I also liked the arc of Caroline and finding her passion, it always is a trope I like to read. I also enjoyed the historical/archeological aspects of the plot.
I wanted more description of scenes and characters it felt hard to picture what was happening and who the characters were. I also found the overall message of the book confusing, like it didnt know what it was trying to say so it just said everything. Or nothing?
Overall fun plot but I think it missed the mark for me. Still an enjoyable read
