3.5

Though I enjoyed parts of this book, found the nuances of the characters and their flaws endearing at parts, it just was not my favorite book. I have seen so many positive reviews about how life changing this book is. To be honest, I just expected more. I love the idea of what it could’ve been. I thought it was going to be more of a historical fiction book that focused on the sapphic relationship in the book. I just felt like the only truly developed character was Evelyn, and I didn’t really enjoy some of how the time passed in the book. Parts went slow, then fast out of no where. It was hard to keep track of everything. I just feel like so much was missing/could’ve been improved upon.
