The Lost Apothecary

Ok, I want to go to London right now. This was such a fun story to listen to. I love dual timelines, and this novel definitely did not disappoint. The narrators were spot on.

I definitely found Nella and Eliza's story more enjoyable than Caroline's. Caroline's seemed too easy and convenient. Putting aside all deep thought and reading into things, this book was flawless. There were a few things that weren't 100% believable, but that's the best part of fiction. I'll definitely be reading this book again.

I was a little disappointed that Caroline put her own dream on hold so her husband could follow his. I was glad that she finally got her act together at the end and put in her application to Cambridge, but it seemed a little rushed. I would think that she'd want to finalize her divorce before moving halfway across the world, but maybe she felt that 10 years was long enough to wait.

Also, I was worried for a while that Nella was going to push Eliza over the bridge railing. I don't really understand how she survived the jump, but maybe the elixir she drank really was supernatural and saved her life.
