I liked the writing enough to want to finish the book, absolutely despised all the characters except maybe Edith.
This is not your typical romance book, it feels similar to Emily Austin’s writing except almost zero character development.
The ending was confusing and honestly so was some of the writing as someone who comes from a low income background and the U.S I didn’t understand certain parts.
I don’t know if I’d recommend this but once you start it, no matter how terrible the characters I feel like you’ll want to see it through. That’s the kind of book this is!
