3.25

Maybe 3.25* - Preferred the coming of age nature of Brooklyn. This felt like a pretty thin domestic drama, not a fan of cheating storylines either and Nancy didn't deserve to be treated like that.
Book ends very abruptly - seems to be setting up for book 3 so let's see where Eilis's story takes us next.
