This was a slow burn for me and I never really got into it, even though I loved the woman Edith has become and admire the girl she was when supporting her sister when she gave birth to a baby. Such an interesting plot and I loved the Irish setting. It‘s really a good book. And yet. It‘s me. A light pick.

Jas16 I have this one my shelves and have been eagerly waiting for the right moment to crack it open. Might lower my expectations a bit now. 2w
CBee Her books seem to be very slow burn-ish. I never finished Summerwater because at that moment in my life I just needed her to speed it up 😂😂 2w

julieclair What a thoughtful review. I have never read a Sarah Moss book, and slow burns usually get on my nerves, but this one looks interesting. Might be a good winter read, when life generally feels slower. 1w
BarbaraBB @julieclair Thank you Julie. You might like it in Winter indeed! 1w

#Read100

My first finished book of September, I finished this one for #FictionalTraveler #September #EnglishSpeaking & September #Roll100 #77 #AnyBOTM Overall, I enjoyed this one, although it drug in parts. The unique premise of an unmarried British woman who comes home after her friend‘s hen party to find she‘s married & her attic keeps “replacing” husbands with no end in site. Lauren made some choices I judged & thought over-the-top but ⬇️

DebinHawaii … then again, I don‘t have a husband-making attic so what do I know!🤷🏻‍♀️ Probably a 3.5 for me but it was fun & it is a debut so got me closer to finishing my #BOTM challenge. (edited) 2w
