pickI‘m at a bit of an odds with this book. I mostly liked it and about 1/3 of the way in I became curious on the direction the story would go. But it went down so many paths that I was a bit disconnected from the characters because I never knew which character (even in the end) to root for.
pickThis was a gothic sapphic mystery that wasn‘t too dark or too heavy. The book was split into two parts, one for each sister. I liked that we got both sides to the story. I think by splitting up the story the reader gets to decide which sister to feel for the most. This was a great debut novel and I look forward to more from this author.
Thank you so much to the publisher, Atria Books, for an advance copy of this novel.
