The Tour by Jean Grainger

I’m clearly in the minority, but I wasn’t a fan. While this was an easy read that ended well, I had a hard time finishing. The plot and characters had great potential, but the whole book just felt “meh.”
I respect authors and the hard work and creativity they put into their books, so I always want to be kind, but the writing just wasn’t great. Unnecessary dialogue, poorly developed characters, and focus on strange details made it difficult to get into.
On top of that, the editing was lacking. For example, American characters were using European words and phrases (trolly instead of shopping cart, for example). While this isn’t a big deal in the scheme of things, all together it felt like a missed opportunity for me. Like I said, I’m in the minority, and I’m glad so many enjoyed it! Just wasn’t for me.
