This was no more and no less than what I expected. An entertaining romp with a small side of historical facts about Britain‘s Married Women‘s Property Act. It is a gentle reminder of the women who came before who paved the way.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 11mo
Librarybelle Good choice! 11mo
Deblovestoread @squirrelbrain It is probably a bit of a cheat as the MC went to the modiste once for a few new stylish clothes but the description of her ball gown sold me 😂 11mo
Read4life Sounds good! 11mo

A good not great mystery. Lots of red herrings, two of my favorite settings (Oxford & Edinburgh) but too much of a lackluster main character for me to be completely invested.

This is a dark read about the horror of becoming a woman. Teenage girls doing games , “which are only fun when they‘re dangerous”, their teacher being a frightened woman, traumatized and afraid of her students. Everyone is terrified and fascinated by eachother. I don‘t it‘s a spoiler to say this couldn‘t end well. Not my kind of book, but intriguing enough to finish it, this mix of horror and psychological drama. Set in #Ecuador

(Pic: Paris!)

Cinfhen Hmmmm, I can‘t remember if I already checked off Ecuador ….I think I did 🙈 13mo
Librarybelle Wow! I‘ll probably pass on this one, but an awesome find on Ecuador! 13mo

LaraReads Beautiful photo! But, yes, definitely not my genre either! But awesome prompt usage! 13mo
Hooked_on_books I just started this one today. It‘s a little confusing, frankly. But I‘m not far in. I‘ll finish it because it‘s on the National Book Awards shortlist for translated literature and I‘m reading the whole list (or trying to). If it continues the way the first couple of chapters are going, I‘m probably not going to like it much. 13mo
BarbaraBB @Hooked_on_books I bought it because of the National book award too, otherwise I wouldn‘t I think. Some chapters are great, some not so. The ending is out of control imo. 13mo
squirrelbrain Ooh Paris! Are you working there? Great review - doesn‘t sound like the book for me though! 13mo
BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain Yes, just an overnight stay but always nice of course! I wouldn‘t really recommend the book. 13mo
Addison_Reads @Hooked_on_books This book was confusing for me, and as an audiobook I really had a hard time keeping track of things. @BarbaraBB I definitely agree that the ending was just completely off the rails. 13mo
Hooked_on_books @Addison_Reads I went back and restarted it after the first three chapters, really focusing on what the heck was going on. After that I wasn‘t confused. But I was not a fan. I felt like the long essay from Anneliese didn‘t feel like something a student would truly submit in places. 13mo
BarbaraBB @Hooked_on_books That essay was good but felt unrealistic indeed. From that point onwards the book went off the rails for me @Addison_Reads 13mo
