Ratings and reviews

Very, very good indeed. An excellent storyline. Only negative to my mind was the drinking. Did Lizzie have to drink so much all the time but worthy of 5 stars

The plot was great however, some parts were a little mundane. The excessive drinking in this book also wss a thumbs dowb for me. 5 stars nonetheless as the constant diversion kept you on your toes.

3 stars writing is good but for some strange reason the book was a bit boring
