Today I sat down with this book and decided I must finish it before it sends me into a book slump
Quite I number of times I found myself checking the synopsis written at the back because it bore no resemblance to what I was reading
Clara was a terrible lover with her thousand mixed signals
Peter was a terrible husband too
Even Ellie, I can’t wrap my head around why she slept with Edmund
Just a terrible book honestly and I’m so glad I don’t have to look at it again…
