I just think that there were too many things happening and that Norton didn't make sure that both POVs worked well.

He presents The Graham Norton Show on BBC1, a show on Virgin Radio every weekend, and is a judge on RuPaul's Drag Race UK.The POVs between Patricia and Elizabeth and the mini POVs for Edward and Rosemary just didn't hang together well. I never watch talk shows, however I know who Mr Norton is, and I admit I was intrigued by the fact that he has accomplished two novels, both receiving many positive reviews. the TIMES'A compelling and moving story, expertly told, that will draw you in and keep you in its grip until the last page.
