For just 300 or so pages this took me quite a long time to read! I never really got into it and didn’t particularly warm to any of the characters and yet there is something about it…
As a whole I didn’t like this book, but I did love sentences within it. They appeared dotted throughout as gems and it was worth plodding on until reaching the end for the final few pages which were the best of all. Not a book I’ll return to but I’m glad I read it. I would however definitely love read the same story but from the point of view of Camille, Mary-Lou or one of the other female characters.
