The Woman in the Library

Lots of weird plot holes and things that didn't really make sense. For instance, how do Freddie and Marigold become “best friends” in three days? And when Leo tells the author about specific words she's using that are more Australian than American it sometimes makes sense, except that Freddie is Australian so it would make sense for at least her to use Australian terms.

And why was Leo suddenly so focused on the pandemic? Was it just to place the story in a time period? I think leaving Leo out and just writing a straightforward novel would let the story flow better. As it was I was pulled out of the story constantly to listen to an unlikeable character blabber on. Why was she sending him her manuscript even? I'm not sure if I missed that part or if that was never explained either.
