4.0

I love a story with unlikeable characters prompting us to question what we believe. The question of what trauma is, how we carry it with us, and if we have the choice to live with it or not was a theme I enjoyed exploring throughout the novel. I also loved the odd details and side characters like Sabine and her eclectic house and Om and his therapy style that Greta hates.

3.5

I wasn’t really sure what to expect coming into this novel, but to be honest I was a bit underwhelmed. The characters were definitely interesting and the plot was witty, but I thought it was going to be a lot more wild than it turned out to be.
