I really disliked this and couldn’t even finish it. The characters are all incredibly dull and flat. I liked Ida and Rose better than the rest but to me they’re still not round characters. I had trouble remembering who was who because of their lack of personality. I had to drag myself through almost 80% of it but cannot continue.

Just struggled to get into this book. Bits I found interesting in a 'this'll be useful for an essay' sort of way, but it was hard to read, though it was short.
