I had such high hopes for this but unfortunately I just did not get on with this book. It’s dual POV with two perspectives that don’t meet until halfway through the book - I liked Ingeborg’s POV, but did not like Anna’s POV at all, which is the main reason I disliked this. I just didn’t care about any of the characters as the way they were written meant that none of them were particularly likeable, so I don’t think it was a successful book (at least for me). 

Loved books similar to this though (I LOVED The Mercies by Kiran Millwood Hargrave) so if you liked this book/the premise then I’d def say go read that
