STRANGE SHAPE OF LOVE
3 stars
I received Strange Shape of Love through LibraryThing Early Reviewers program.
When the magazine she writes for is bought out by a London online company, she is sent to London to work. She used to live there 7 years ago. She reconnects with Celia, her good friend. Charlotte runs into her ex, Rafe. They reignite their relationship and then her past comes back to haunt her.
The story is sometimes fast paced and sometimes slow. Sometimes it's exciting, but more often boring. You figure out quickly who is to blame for Charlotte's troubles. It isn't much of a mystery.
I understand the devastation Charlotte felt when her cousin died. But the horrible choices she made, I can't feel sorry for her. I like a character that I can relate with or commiserate with. I feel sorrier for Rafe. He has 2 women that he cares for and both are screwed up.
I would recommend this book for the way it puts a spotlight on human trafficking and harassment, along with the #MeToo movement.
If you read this book, please leave a comment. I would like to know if you liked it. And why or why not.
