Free Love by Tessa Hadley

DNF at 40%. I was looking for something more racy and interesting? I found this boring and common.

5.0

I massively enjoyed this. It had a Richard Yates vibe, a kind of suburban Americana setting and style but British, which really worked for me - also reminded me of a kind of more literary Mavis Cheek (whom I love). The plot truly pulled me along and the twist genuinely knocked me off my feet - did not see it coming! A subtle and moving ending, bringing some realism to what could have been a fantastic tale. Loved it - a new favourite. Highly recommended.
