The Animals at Lockwood Manor (Hardcover)

Ummm. This was interesting. I'm still kind of confused as to what the actual plot was, what the genre was and where exactly it went. There were a lot of side stories that were all kinda tossed together, with no real big plot. Wins: -the lesbian slow burn romance was cute. It was however very slow and over dramatic at times -I loved the classification of animals and how Hettie would name people by animals, that was interesting -Hettie was okay. She was super eccentric about the animals, which was kind of annoying, but Lucy was mentally disturbed and very interesting Opportunities -as mentioned, I don't know what the actual plot was. -what the whole Mary thing? Why did she so openly despise Hettie for no reason? She was a super random character until she was needed. I didn't like it -TOO MANY SIDE STORIES all in all, this book was okay. I don't know what genre it falls under, it's supposed to be like a World War 2 historical fiction, but WW2 plays such a small role, I don't want to classify it as that, it's not a romance, it's kind of a mystery. Its confusing. I hate to just kinda rip on someone's hard work and writing, but I liked this book until I really really didn't like it and just wanted it to be over. I don't know who this is geared towards. Read at your own risk I guess?
