"Love Always", unlike Harriet Evans' other books, is not a romantic comedy. This book is a murder mystery much in the style of "Rebecca" or even "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo".
I am not yet finished with this book, however I'm about half way through it and I love it so far. I genuinely don't know what happened to Cecily, the aunt of the protagonist, that dies as a young teenager in the family's summer house.
I gotta be honest, I don't really care about the main character, Natasha, and her story. Although its interesting enough to keep reading, I'm really just wondering what happened to Cecily.
I will be sooooo pissed if Cecily wasn't murdered and it really was just an accident. If that happens, I am sending one of my hate cards to Harriet Evans and calling her a huge pussy. Probably the one with the fancy borders (see previous blog posts) to keep it classy. She is an author after all.
I know what you all are thinking...why all the H. E. books? To be honest, aside from liking her first book, and reading a terrible book inbetween, I ordered 4 of her books after the first one. I hadn't yet started this blog when I placed the order, and I didn't give a shit what you all thought at the time. I have one more to go after this one, then I will move on I swear.
H. E.'s characters in this book are Indian (or at least half Indian) in this book which is cool and something I thought was not quite right with her other books. All her books are based in London and London is full of Indian people. I love India, Indians, and almost all literature and art by Indians. So this book makes me happy that it's based on the Kapoor family.
Actually, at the moment, London is full of Olympians, and none of them are Indian as far as I have noticed. That's odd.
