Queenie Malone's Paradise Hotel by Ruth Hogan

Like putting a puzzle together
Reading this book felt like putting a puzzle together. It started tedious, sorting everything out and building the plot. But then the pieces all fell together and by the end, there was a sense of bittersweet joy. A complicated book, like the other two by Hogan, but still a pleasant
Tilda was boring as hell. I was far more interested in Tilly and her world view. The adult characters, like Daniel and MR Long Name, were weirdly two dimensional. They seemed more like plot devices than people. The heavy handed mother/child comparisons were a bit hard to bear.
