On a Quiet Street

Where to begin, this was a roller-coaster ride, but not always in the best way. Having listened to the audiobook, I found the first part especially challenging due to the whiny tone of Leah, which made her quite unlikable. Additionally, the initial chapters were very slow-paced, which made me almost put down the book as I thought it was mainly about her life with a cheating husband.

However, as the story progressed, these issues became less significant. The pace picked up, and the introduction of another point of view added a lot and made it a whole lot more enjoyable. Although I'm generally not a fan of multiple POVs, it worked well for this story.

But then, unfortunately, we came down to the end, which left much to be desired. While I understand that in some cases concessions have to be made to come to a closing point, this was just far from believable. I really hoped this story would end with a big bang, but that didn't come.

In conclusion, the writing style was very good, the story was not half bad, the plot was a bit disappointing, and it needed some time to get going.
