The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner

Did not finish book. Stopped at 21%.

There are pieces of this book I like a lot, but I think the writing style is turning me off. It feels like there's a lot of effort put into making me think Caroline is really very interesting and quirky, but she's not. It tells me how much of a passion she has for history, but she doesn't seem to know simple things and her curiosity about the bottle she finds is so easily squashed. The apothecary timeline is more interesting, but it's still not quite grabbing me. Nella feels too flatly done with everything and Eliza feels a bit too bubbly and innocent.
