The idea and the world was cool but it didn't quite live up to my expectations. I did enjoy it but I thought I would love it.

I loved this! Set in Wellington, New Zealand, it focuses on reading: how we read, and how we interpret novels, and which characters can shape our lives. The majority of characters are lifted directly out of Victorian Classics (there are several Mr Darcy readings), so they’re familiar enough to a reader!
