4.0

Compared to her other works, this one starts slow. It lacks the magical realism that usually accompanies Block’s writing, but there is still something captivating about the characters she creates. 
It’s such a shocking story in the end, but the life of Catt is so grotesquely relatable that you can’t help but feel sad. I did tear up in the end. 

Almost a murder mystery and so very compelling.
