A review by beastreader
The Au Pair by Emma Rous

2.0

The premise of this book had me intrigued. The first opening chapter peaked my interest. I could not wait to read more. The next several chapters afterwards did keep my intrigue. Although, my excitement did not last long. While, I did finish the book, it was slow moving. In regards, to the characters in the story, they were fine but there was like a barrier that kept me from fully embracing the characters and getting emotionally connection to them.

The story flashes back from past to present. The past edged out the present just a little more. There is a small bright side and that is the last third of the story. It is the best and where the story picked up ground. Also, where all of the pieces came together. The ending was pretty good. Sadly, this book missed the mark for me.
