I'm having a difficult time rating this one. On one hand, I really loved the storyline and I adored some of the characters. On the other hand, it felt too fast and too slow all at once somehow. The true climax of the story didn't happen until the last 50ish pages and I wish the resolution had been more played out. But,
at the same time, I really liked seeing Molly moving on from what transpired and finding her direction towards London. Even though I wish she and Tom could have found one another in the end.
I listened to this on audiobook, and while the narration was good, I think I would have enjoyed it more had I read it physically.
