Fingersmith by Sarah Waters

2.0

I wanted to like this book so much more than I ended up liking it. The first third of it seemed to drag on. I wanted the relationships to be so much more exciting and believable than they were. I wanted to cheer for our characters and root for them to be together but I didn't. It felt like it was trying to straddle a character driven novel and a plot driven novel and in doing so, did neither particularly well.

It became a book that I probably could have DNF'd if my stubbornness and my hopes that it would get better did not hold out to the end.
