Russian Doll is set in London and Cornwall, England. A love story with a difference - Russian Doll, tells the story of a successful art dealer and historian, Paul, who falls in love with a much younger girl with a troubled past, Tamara, following the tragic death of his wife and daughter in a car accident. The romance is hampered by many things, but none so much as Tamara's past, which threatens to destroy, not only her but everybody around her, when the truth finally comes to light.
I felt The Russian Doll by Madison Brightwell started out very strong. I enjoyed the mysteries and suspense behind Tamara. The book got a little lost in the middle. I was confused and Julian being drawn back into the story without being used as strongly as he could have been. I struggled a little with finishing the book. This rarely happens. I just felt there were areas that were ripe for development that were dropped suddenly. I would like to thank Goodreads First Reads for the giveaway and the opportunity to read this book.
