Reviews with content warning for Sexual content - Die sieben Tode der Evelyn Hardcastle

The ending was the only part of the book I was actually invested in - the rest of the book was slow and confusing. I like the idea of time travel/manipulation, but if the authour doesn’t explain/incorporate their “rules” into the plot it’s just frustrating… I was frustrated most of the book.
Also, the extreme fatphobia made it so hard to read!!! You can tell the authour is extremely discriminatory towards larger bodies through how he writes about people in the book - it was so much it was hard to read!!

I’ve never so passionately put “It’s Complicated” for the book review questions.
I was feeling a 4.25 star rating for this book until I hit chapter 53…and things got WILD.
I was not smart enough for this book, but I’ll be thinking about it for a long time. Fascinating hints at the outside world at the end (#AlwaysReadAuthor’sNotes).
As Kuzco says, “Oh yeah, it’s all coming together.”

Honestly the beginning of the book is kind of slow and frustrating because you know nothing just as Aiden Bishop (the main character) knows nothing. He doesn’t even know his name. It picks up though and then it is a crazy ride.

I tried making multiple guesses about the things that were going to happen in the book but I was often wrong. There were a lot of twists and turns and I definitely did not see the final twist coming.

When I started reading I thought it would be a four star book at most but it really delivered. When I got to the final day I was worried that all the plot holes would remain holes, but Turton made sure that everything got wrapped up in a neat, tidy bow.

I loved this book and would read it again.
