bookswithlydscl 's review for:

Long Island by Colm Tóibín
3.25
challenging emotional hopeful reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Maybe 3.25* - Preferred the coming of age nature of Brooklyn. This felt like a pretty thin domestic drama, not a fan of cheating storylines either and Nancy didn't deserve to be treated like that.
Book ends very abruptly - seems to be setting up for book 3 so let's see where Eilis's story takes us next.
