This book is so disappointing, I expected it to be a 4 stars but yeah, no.
It has weird fantasy/magical elements to it.
I disliked Louise for throwing herself a pity party every other page while flirting with a married man, so reading her chapters was a bit of a chore.
I loved Adele's chapters and was looking forward to them until the later ones, there was a noticeable switch in direction for her character. I guessed the first twist which I didn't like, but never anticipated a homophobic ending.
At the end of chapter 37, there's a slur which is unnecessary and vile as slurs always are.
The only upside of this whole ordeal is I will now ensure I double check my books to read have been recommended by various and diverse reviewers cause the straights are praising it.
