writing: 3,5 ✨

plot: 3 ✨
OVERALL: 3,5 ✨

what I loved:

- the setting and the descriptions. Everything happens in Edinburgh, a city that I love with my heart (no pun intended) ♥️
- the historical basis. I really enjoyed that it was based on the history of the anatomy’s study that happened especially in Edinburgh during the 19th century
- the criticism on class and gender inequality
- the characters, especially the main character, Hazel

what I didn’t love:

- the love story felt quite rushed, especially in the final pages. I’m hoping that the second book will develop Hazel and Jack’s relationship a little bit more.
- there were some plot holes that I hope the second book will explain :)

Overall, it’s a contemporary read that I really enjoyed. However, some descriptions can be a little bit to much for someone who is more sensitive.
It’s a beautiful insight into Edinburgh and part of its history.
Have you read it yet? ❤️✨
