I'm not entirely sure what to make of this book. I enjoyed it, don't get me wrong. I'm a sucker for drama. If you got tea, spill it.

I just felt that Olivia and Kitty were a bit TOO obsessed. Kitty wanted Olivia's life, Olivia wanted Kitty's life but at the same time she absolutely despised Kitty. It was just very weird to me.

I did like the story in a way and it was certainly interesting to learn more about the Greek culture as the book went on. I loved Maroula. She does seem like a character who'd be very hit and miss for some people. You'd either like her or you don't. I personally did like her. She had her ups and downs but she still ploughed through.

I did like Kitty aside from the whole obsession with Olivia's life. From a difficult childhood, she certainly remained strong. I do pity her in ways. She went through a lot and wasn't always treated as an equal.

I do like Rosie Thomas's writing style. I found it so easy to read this book despite its length. It was fast paced and I certainly wanted to keep reading. I wanted to know exactly what was to come.

3.5/5
