Ambush or Adore by Gail Carriger

2.0

This was a complete shock--I don't think I've ever not enjoyed a Gail Carriger book, but this one was not it for me. I think it was intended to feel soft and lovely in it's pining and vignette-style storytelling, but to me it was just sad, lonely, and hurtful. It felt like the lack of communication was in service to a tortured artist aesthetic, rather than true to the characters, and I just wanted to them to meaningfully talk to each other and find a more accommodating middle-ground of happiness.
