I am generally quite a quick reader but this one took me so long to read! I think I just didn’t enjoy it enough to want to pick it up.
It felt quite mundane but also very messed up. I thought it was quite long and it felt like not a lot was happening. My favourite bit was about 45 chapters in where you got the reveal on what happened and Dolly’s reaction to it. The ending was quite bittersweet - but I liked that everyone got an ending they deserved and something that they wanted.
It was an okay book, just not for me.
