It’s just ok! Parts of it are interesting but it loses a lot of momentum in the middle and thus loses a lot of mystery. I feel as if the Sara-Appleyard plot is one of the more interesting subplots included and I feel like I wanted more there. Wished I liked it more as it was a lovely gift from my partner and we actually visited Hanging Rock while I was reading it! Bummer
