The Family Game by Catherine Steadman

Kara’s first review of the year

really liked it
Such a fun book about a girl who is going to marry into a rich, screwed up family. Fun to read around Christmas time as that is the setting of the book and it really helps set the mood. Nothing deep here, but you’ll have a fun ride with it!

Kara’s last review of the year

it was ok
This book is not for me. I suppose I can see why some people like it but the writing felt so flat and the situations so contrived. I won’t be continuing the story.
