This started out strong for me, and flattened as it progressed.
It was pleasant enough to read but the plot just petered out, and the end was so resolved and neatly packaged that I found it dull. I know people like a complete resolution but it felt so finally different from the rest of the book.
I would read more stuff by Elizabeth Day- it’s easy reading stuff and perhaps other stories may resonate more with me.
