A review by corkykat
Brighton Belle by Sara Sheridan
3.0
I won this book in a goodreads giveaway in exchange for a fair review.
I want to start off by saying that the cover for this book is beautiful. It's the only thing that I absolutely would not change.
The characters are also pretty good. They're interesting, each with their own strengths and flaws. I think that the character development was the main thing that pulled me through this book.
But that almost wasn't enough. Man, was this book slow. I don't know what it was. The plot was fairly interesting. The main issue, I think, was the writing style itself. There were run on sentences, comma issues, and other unpleasant grammar slips. I found the writing to be boring, and the perspective changes were unsuccessful and confusing. The book took me far too long to read, and I wish that I had enjoyed it more. This book probably rests at about 2.5 stars for me.
Luckily, the end picked up a bit, but I was overall disappointed with the pace and writing quality in the novel.
