The 24-Hour Café by Libby Page
2.0
I absolutely loved 'The Lido' and 'The Island Home' but unfortunately, this was not it. Even the writing didn't do it for me, which is a shame, because I usually really enjoy Libby's writing.
There were too many random characters I didn't care about, splitting up Hannah & Mona's story the way Libby did really didn't work for me, the flashbacks were mostly meh and not all of them added anything to the story... and the ending was rushed and it didn't make me feel anything. Maybe because I didn't give a sh*t about the characters in the first place. This is supposed to be another celebration of friendship, just like The Lido was, but this definitely didn't feel like one. At least, not to me.
