The plotline itself was well thought out, with the mixing of the two timelines & the gradual reveals, but for me, I'm afraid the characters rather spoiled things. Dolly Dove seemed to have almost no personality & I had no strong feelings about what happened to her character, Fern was just annoying, & did Nell have to be quite so useless at everything? I also found the ending to be rather melodramatic. (continued)
2.5⭐ (Some trigger warnings on full review but hidden in case of spoilers)
My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Titan Books, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
