The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller
3.0
3.5/5
The first half of this book I didn't really like at all. I'm not a fan of cheating plot lines (read this so I could be up to date on trends for work so that's low key my own fault) and then her back story just felt too sad (it gave me A LITTLE LIFE vibes, but obviously much less traumatic, but that same borderline trauma-porny feel). I liked learning about her relationship with Peter and her sister and her mother as they got older, which bumped up the rating some. I thought the ending was an interesting way to go with the story as well. This by no means will be a memorable read for me and it was almost a solid thumbs down but saved itself.
