Interesting twist. I thought I had it sorted but not at all. The kind of book that makes you have to re read it to see all the details you missed and through the lense of the knowldege acquired at the end. Poor Alicia :,)
The writing is simple and easy to read, the audiobook is a breeze (voices are enchanting for this one). I liked learning about Euripides’ play and the way it fits into the story. Very cleverly put together but the power of the hit is not that intense because I didnt feel that connected to the characters, however  it was fun to guess the story.

i liked how in the end theo didnt actually kill anyone but instead it was actually alicia who did it, after mental pressure, tragic how theo didnt know…and yet
