Mixed feelings about this book - I enjoyed the second half way more than the first. Marianne's parts were frustrating to read, with a lot of internalized misogyny presented as fact, and there was also a pretty racist paragraph about Muslim women.
The plot/mystery picked up in the second half, and I found myself actually intrigued, and attached to the other characters who weren't Marianne. I liked the ending of the mystery as well.
