I was disappointed with Atkinson's latest, particularly since I adored Life After Life. This had all the elements to make it great: the backdrop of WW2, quirky British characters, and an intriguing plot. And yet it never really took off for me. I didn't connect with Juliet and found the timeline to be very choppy and disjointed. Nevertheless, I love Atkinson's style and her portrayal of the lasting damage of the war on England and her people is brilliant.
