4.5 stars
This book starts at the end, with three people in what can be assumed is a bad situation, fleeing London. The first chapter, jarring at first, seems a stroke of genius as the book continues. Written in beautiful, flowing sentences that call out to be read aloud, this book explores these three characters, their parents, their friends, their friend's parents as they navigate the London scene. These are all flawed people who make their way the best they can by forming connections. When almost at the end, I went back to read the first chapter and loved how suddenly I knew these people inside out and it all meant so much more. I was honestly surprised at how much I loved this book and while I was not familiar with the author, I will definitely read any future novel that she writes. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher.
