We read this for our book club and I did not enjoy it at all. WhatsApp and Instagram clearly banned in this village probably the "bad signal" all the men in the book are 2 dimensional misogynists, two of the women have made up jobs where they stop for cake everyday at 11. It is a Desperate Housewives plot set in the Cotswolds. Nothing of substance to discuss at book club as the only thing to critique is the writing style. All characterisation is bland, plot is unbelievable but not in a fun villinette way
