There's unreliable narrator and then there's...whatever this was. Let me just say, I support womens' rights and womens' wrongs, and I would probably do the same thing if someone did this to me. When you read this, you'll understand I don't want to spoil anything. The majority of the book was slow going and really introspective, but it always knew when to zoom out and draw attention back to the central mystery. Fantastic!

I loved this book! It takes some time to really get into the plot, but while we are doing it, Olga gives us such an exquisite prose and description of places that it doesn't really matter! And we really really get to know our main character. When everything starts evolving, you're just so trapped already and rooting for some of the characters. I could see where the end was going but not until maybe one chapter before. And all the topic on veganism, as a vegan, I found it amazing, because people do live just hypocritical lives. There are also so many subtle clues throughout the book and symbolisms, that I would love to read it again 💜

There were some quirky funny lines but over all I just couldn’t get past all the astrology. It felt like the main focus  was astrology and the plot was an afterthought
