This book is over 400 pages and NOTHING happens. For around 450 pages we follow Nicola as she goes to the hospital to visit her sister Viv who is in a coma. She then comes home to feed Viv’s dogs and snoop through Viv’s diaries. This happens on loop for the entire book and was so frustrating to try and get through.
It was so slow and took me 3 weeks to read when usually I read 2 books a week. I didn’t feel invested in the characters at all and found the bits of backstory that we do get extremely boring and irrelevant.
