This book made me feel so icky and just despondent in a way I'm not sure I've experienced when reading a book before. It was genuinely challenging to read but also so compelling. I've read a lot of books with unlikeable, problematic women protagonists but Irina Sturgess is on another level.
I didn't like the pacing of the text conversations, perhaps it works better not as an audiobook but it was quite tedious for the more mundane text threads of them arranging nights out or whatever, and that put me off a little. But when you're just listening to Irina's villain monologues it's horrifically fascinating.
