🎧 The blurb had me really interested and sounded just like my kind of read. It started off strong but got a little lost in the middle to the point of being really drawn out. It could really have been condensed a lot more as the extra fluff didn’t add anything to the storyline. The story unfolds through past and present timelines which I found interesting for building the story. I found most of the characters not overly likeable and couldn’t really connect with them. I found Lady Margaret truly detestable but I will admit I really liked Johnny. The narration was excellent as it really brought Lady Margaret to life. The was a few surprises along the way but they weren’t worth waiting for as it was obvious where it was going. It was only ok…
