Started out slow, but the last 100 pages made it all worth it. I couldn't read them fast enough, so badly was I dying to know how it worked out!

An okay book with a great final scene. This book was one that I have been “currently reading” forever. I made a #bulletjournal spread for books that I have started but have not really picked up again. So far, having these written out so I can track my progress has been pretty motivating.

“When we are happy to turn from evil because it is ugly, and it causes us distress, then we condone it and become party to its continuance. Little by little, we become as guilty of it as those who commit the act-because we told them by our silence that it is acceptable.” Hester Latterly, Defend and Betray by Anne Perry
