No-one has ever made sex or food sound so disgusting. Also, none of the gross sex descriptions are actually necessary to the story.
I mainly kept going because the narrator on the audio book had such a calming voice.

Pacing of the novel is slow, and the storyline can get quite confusing, as it constantly jumps from when the twins were young children to adults. But I really enjoyed the last third of the book, when the story picks up and we find out what happens to Sophie Mol.
(Also, the author seems to have an unhealthy obsession with "balls," which I don't get 😅)
Moderate: Sexual assault
Minor: Emotional abuse and Physical abuse
