Modern love
Wonderful, a delight. Loved the characters, well worthy of meeting xx
Not a fan
Only finished it because I kept hoping it would get better. I couldn’t relate to any of the characters at all. The writing & the dialogue were both quite random & obscure. I kept having to re-read whole paragraphs & even then, often found myself wondering what on earth they were talking about. It was just hard work, start to finish.
