Kat’s Rating: 3/5
Kat’s Review: It’s been quite some time since I have read a Catherine Alliott book but decided to give this one a go. The basic premise doesn’t need repeating as the synopsis says it all, however this book is what I would describe as a slow burner. There are a lot of characters and it takes some time to wrap your head around all of them and what part they play.
The storyline and writing was okay but nothing that blew me away but it was reasonably enjoyable. I think the sheer volume of characters at the beginning put me off a little and although I completed the book for some reason it felt like a little bit of a chore. I finished this and didn’t feel compelled to write a review which left me conluding this as a middle of the of rating.
