I was sent this ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
For a book that's 416 pages, it really didn’t say anything that I hadn't read before. The Grace Year is a book with a strong premise and a lacklustre execution with plotholes, poor pacing and a structure that makes it feel twice as long as it is.
I was looking forward to reading this for a long time but unfortunately, I was disappointed by the book overall.
I am rating this 3 stars rather than 2 stars because of the ending (that I wouldn't have gotten too if I weren't sent this book for review) and the fact that this book may be more intriguing for younger readers than myself as I can see the appeal in it.
I've read 20 books since i finished The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. But I still cant get it out of my head.
