This is not my usual genre at all but I recieved this in a book subscription years ago and finally thought I'd give it a go. I'm so glad I did.

I’m normally a reader of horror and this book seemed my type of thing.

Easy read but flawed- without giving spoilers a few of the main characters actions didn’t seem overly believable.

Would recommend if you are looking for a holiday book or travelling, not challenging or surprising but enjoyable nonetheless.

Good book, enjoyable story. I liked the connection how someone can build their own mini world to escape their grief/trauma. It left me immersed and gripped. It look me far longer to read than i wanted it to but this was mainly due to life and responsibilities. I hope to read more by this author
