3.5

I thought this sounded intriguing. I liked the glimpses into the different lives in Lukenbooth Close but I did find the plot a little lacking. This was only a problem as I really really didn't care for some of the characters (William - what was the point of his chapters?) whereas others I loved. This was almost more like short stories in that regard. It was a bit spicier than I expected!
