What?
Kate Atkinson is one of my favorite authors. I love how she develops the characters and their rich emotional lives. That is until this book. There seemed to be such a large focus on intrigue, that emotion and motivation were left behind. I was often left wondering, “why did they do that?” This was especially true with the last reveal about Juliet. If Kate Atkinson’ point was to leave the reader feeling like they might never understand, nor should they trust, anyone, even characters in a book, she succeeded.
