This book was interesting enough, but there were many disappointing aspects to it for me.

For a start, it was just too damn long. The first third of it was well-paced, but after that (

when Nancy left Kitty and made her own way through London

) it just rambled on and on. A lot of time was spent developing problems for Nancy, and then a lot of these problems were never really dealt with

such as her never finding Grace and Mrs Milne, and Nancy being a complete bitch to her family and leaving them to despair over where she was

.

I thought the whole plot generally was quite ludicrous, particularly the convenience with which Nancy managed to bump into every lesbian in London. The way it was wrapped up was also ridiculous,

there was no closure on any of the storylines until literally the last scene in the book, where most of the characters conveniently gathered so Nancy could deal with them.

I often felt like the author had sacrificed writing a believable plot in favour of writing endless detailed sex scenes.

Aside from all that, I liked the way it was written and I thought Nancy a very interesting character, especially as I didn't find her at all likable. She really changed throughout the book though, and it was interesting to see how all the events in her life affected her.
