How Elizabeth Barrett Browning Saved My Life by Mameve Medwed
3.0
I have mixed feelings about this one. On one hand, I really liked the concept - a character discovering on Antiques Roadshow that she owns a valuable artifact, and then how that affects the character's life. I loved the setting in Cambridge, near where I used to live - it made me very nostalgic for Boston. And I liked how the main character wasn't perfect; she felt like a real, flawed person you might know.
On the other hand, I thought most of the other characters were pretty one-dimensional. The villains didn't really have must nuance (though they were pretty funny, especially Clyde).
So I thought it was a fun, fluffy read. Even though I didn't love it, I was drawn to it and finished it in two days. Good stuff!
