Stayed up all nights reading it. It has the perfect tone and moods for the setting. One of those rare books you absolutely must finish.

Lots of riffs from dickens, Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, Great Expectations etc, with a female perspective. Gritty and felt real. Found it very suspenseful with lots of twists, some of which I did not see coming at all.

Loved the story but thought the book could have been shorter, there’s a lot of scenes that really seem to drag on

holy shit dit boek is fucking insane. iedere keer als ik dacht dat ik wist waar het heen ging kreeg het weer een andere draai. ik was rustig aan het lezen BAM plottwist, en NOG een, en NOG een, en dan denk je dat je ze gehad hebt NEE BAM nog een. (tbh sommige plottwists zag ik wel een beetje aankomen) maar ja wtf dit boek is echt zo goed. ik geef het geen 5 sterren want daarvoor vond ik het eerste stuk van Maud dat overlapte met Sue’s stuk te lang en een beetje overbodig/dubbelop. maar voor de rest ZO INTENS en goed uitgedacht. super goed geschreven personages. ja dit is echt one of a kind in my opinion

Watched the movie adaptation before reading, which spoiled some of the plot but didn't completely ruin it. Slowed down a lot in the middle, and the ending felt fast, but still worth the read/listen.
