The Angels of Lovely Lane by Nadine Dorries
3.0
I'VE FINALLY FINISHED OMGGGGGGGGG. So, I got this book in Kindle form in April just as something to read on the train, but I struggled so much because I was reading it on my phone. I could just not get into it, I thought there was too many characters, and every time I came back to it I was confused about what was going on. HOWEVER, I started reading it properly when I wasn't travelling, and realised it was just the fact I hate reading on my phone, rather than found the book difficult.
I've been after a Kindle for a while, and now I've finally got one (yey!) I found it 10000000x easier to read this book, and realised even though there are so many characters, once you know the difference, it's hard to get them re-confused. I actually enjoyed this book! It was slow getting to it, but once I got over the reading format, I found this was easy to read and the main characters were enjoyable and likeable! I felt that everything was tied up in a good way, and this book drew to light some important topics, especially for the time, such as misogyny, sexism and illegal abortions, without downplaying them into mere story points.
Overall, while this isn't my usual type of book, I really enjoyed it, and the fact i wasn't discouraged at the beginning just shows how easy to read and interesting this book is. Defo worth a read if this is your type of book or are a fan of this time period.
