i wasn't sure what to expect of this book when i started & i was super worried that i wasn't going to end up enjoying it but i liked it more than i thought i was !
it was super hard for me to get through pages 100-250 or so, but i feel like after that little blip, things were stringing together nicely. i didn't really like how the book moved so slow at the beginning and the resolution happened so quickly- things don't come to a head until like 40-50 pages of the book are left
i wasn't really expecting that plot twist, but im usually pretty bad at predicting those so it was refreshing !
i typically like my books with a little more character development than this, and in addition to it moving so gd slow in the beginning, i'm leaving a 3.5
(my copy of the book contained 415 pgs)

The story is not about the crimes of the Mitfords, I would say is more a kind of slice of life of a girl trying to survive the situation that the live has put in her way.
