This book had a lot of potential. It featured fun characters, probably my favorite book title of all time, and a beautifully described setting. Sadly, something just fell a bit flat for me. I'm not sure if it was due to the fact that much of the correspondence between Effie and Juliana took place through letters, which created a sense of emotional distance between them. The pacing also felt uneven throughout, and at times I wasn’t quite sure what the story was trying to accomplish. Overall, while the potential was definitely there, the book didn’t quite deliver
