Cobble Hill

I read books to escape and this one was just quirky enough that it felt realistic but also a little fantastic at the same time. I really love the character development throughout the book, however the plot felt all over the place and I really didn't think the ending worked well. A lot was left hanging, but maybe that was purposeful. I guess I'm just one of those people that really likes nice, neat endings, which made this ending very unsatisfying.

This book is so full of crazy characters, you can't help but fall in love with several of them. I love white people behaving badly as a trope, but this author makes is so entertaining with twists and secrets, I can't tell if it's satire or truth (of course I can tell, but it is so well done I wondered).
