megelizabeth's review against another edition
2.5
This was a frustrating combination of a book that had me really hooked but ultimately ended up thoroughly disappointing me. Although I was irked from the start by the blatant ignoring of statutory processes and laws, I did enjoy getting to know the characters (particularly Laura, who it honestly scared me how much I related to), was super intrigued by the mystery, and loved the Bath setting. However, while in theory what ends up being the conclusion/one of the core themes was really interesting, it was - in my opinion - executed incredibly poorly and left so many holes and unanswered questions that I just came away feeling irritated.
Graphic: Alcoholism, Child abuse, Mental illness, and War
