True Brit

*Read during the pandemic, who the hell knows if anything I say makes sense?True Brit had a lot going for it. It was plotted really well, and had distinctive MCs and memorable secondary characters, including a real stinker of a villain.

But this one didn't have as much of an impact.It's very possible that if I read this again in a few months after regaining some sense of “normal” I will have a more positive reaction. So it could definitely be a case of “it's not you, it's me.”
