Welcome to Litsy!

Well this book wasn‘t very nice. It was just okay. I wanted to shake Anna and say, when an older guy starts off negging you, it ain‘t going anywhere good. Bonus tip: he probably has a wife.

HOWEVER, when I wasn‘t reading about the banal and totally predictable relationship, I got to hang with Anna at opera school and that part was cool and different than any book I‘ve read. Still, this is a low pick #BorrowNotBuy.

Anna is an insecure opera student who starts are relationship with a confident man, but she doesn‘t let go when things start to go a little sideways. I think this book is well done and disturbing, though I wouldn‘t say I liked it per se. I suspect it will be quite polarizing. It definitely made me think.

So, This was nice but it has too many similarities with #CleopatraandFrankenstein and that one was better written. I did enjoy the London setting (as always!).
It‘s about a struggling opera singer student who starts a complicated relationship with an older, more successful man.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️, 5/5

This is an #arc I received from a Goodreads giveaway. I had high hopes but ultimately it wasn't for me. There were stylistic choices that I felt were distracting, such as not using quotation marks. Also, detailed descriptions of opera tryouts & I felt my lack of familiarity with operas was a disadvantage. It's a modern, coming-of-age book about a young woman trying to balance the demands of her career while engaged with a wealthy older man. ⭐⭐⭐

This is a tough read at times, but then that just means Imogen Crimp was writing fabulous scenes and story. Stick with this one, it will be worth it in the end
