Shrines of Gaiety by Kate Atkinson
3.0
funny fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I love everything Kate Atkinson has ever written -- except this, which (to me) felt scattered and rushed and strangely thin. It still has its moments, it's not necessarily a _bad_ book, but it is a book that does not live up to its potential and needed at least one more round of revisions.
