The Unforgettable Loretta, Darling by Katherine Blake

Go to review page

Did not finish book. Stopped at 18%.
Unfortunately, nothing about this book, aside from the blurb, captured by attention. The writing style didn’t grip me, and Loretta isn’t a particularly interesting character to me. I also felt that the story’s start lacked something to drive forward the plot, and without it I just didn’t feel any urge to read on.
