Divided Lives by K.R. Mullins – Review by Rebeca Elliott Figueiras
Divided Lives by K.R. Mullins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Initially I did struggle getting into the book as I felt the writing flow appeared a little ‘clunky’, however the story kept me going and after the first few chapters the flow was much improved and reading the writing style was enjoyable.
There were parts which felt repetitive for example when the main character had thought something, and immediately after the narrative also stated this. This was not common throughout the book but was something that stood out to me as I was reading.
The story line itself was promising and I enjoyed trying to work out what had happened and who was behind it all. The twist ending was enjoyed despite feeling a little rushed.
I also enjoyed the true historical elements which were included, it was clear that the research had been conducted to improve the story and make it feel more real.
I enjoyed how the characters had been written, their individual personalities and how they were linked together was done well, I absolutely loved Lottie and Hen!
There were some interactions which felt a little unnecessary but did not detract from the storyline.
The plot was amazing, and I enjoyed reading the books once the initial flow improved and although the ending was not what I had hoped for and felt a little rushed, it was still satisfying. There were no lose ends and everything seemed to wrap up nicely.
I enjoyed the author’s take on the real trial which is tied into the book at the end, it was insightful and an interesting addition to the book!
