The Uninvited by Cat Winters

3.0

I have to say that I was planning on giving this book a 2 star rating, maybe a little 2.5 because I love the author... Most of the book was disconnected, the characters were un-relatable and awkward. I felt like it didn't really fit into the way I think people may have behaved in 1918... Ivy is the worst, she just had no depth, I found it hard to believe that a woman who'd been a recluse her whole life would just suddenly go out into the world, find a roommate, drive an ambulance with strangers, sleep with a man she didn't know... awkwardly btw, felt like there were only sex scenes because it's an adult novel, it was hard to read and made me feel uncomfortable for her.
So the 2.5 was going for most of the book until I got to the twist and it saved it a little bit, the characters made a bit more sense to me and the storyline... Unfortunately, I would have liked to have been hooked for the whole book and not just the last 7 chapters... This is still one of my favorite authors, but I honestly just didn't enjoy this story.
