slow-paced

2.5

I’m sorry but this was so boring to me… I tried so hard to pay attention but every character was similarly written and I could never tell what mattered and what didn’t. It had great potential to discuss the complexities of assisted suicide but it instead was treated as murder. Idk I can see how it might work for others but I was bored to tears.

I'd recommend this to anybody who likes crime-comedy novels with laugh out loud moments. Some charming characters, especially the protagonist Felix, with a light writing style.
