A review by esorharas
The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller
Did not finish book.
DNF at page 46.
I got to the end of chapter four. By that point, it was clear that I wasn't going to enjoy this book. Not only is the main plot in the present timeline adultery, but the past timeline also heavily features child abuse and sexual assault (from what I've read so far).
The constant flitting between past and present was jarring. The content even more so. The language was extremely flowery, which I struggle with at the best of times.
I didn't really care about the main character, or any of the other characters, and I just didn't care enough to continue with this one. If I'd known the content of this before I bought it, I would never have bought it! I wish the descriptions on the back made it clear what this was actually about, or at least gave some content warnings!
