just for the people from Balkans, there is a character who is a Bosnian refugee and there is just a short mention of Srebrenica, it's very small, but it took me by surprise so I think it's important to know

Found the first half of this book quite slow, didn’t find myself wanting to pick it up and read on my lunch breaks/in the mornings before work like I do with other books. So much so that I was considering not continuing and it’s only because I had quite a few people tell me to keep going that I persevered.
I feel that it really picks up in the second half of this book and got that love for reading feeling back again. There’s a lot more tense and mysterious action that begins to happen and more Easter eggs dropped for the reader to pick up on and question who’s the most suspicious which I liked.
I find reading books about alcoholism quite tiresome is what I’ve realised.
Satisfactory ending? Yes.

Incredible book and very well-written. The author describes things using all of the senses nicely, bringing the reader into the story. This book had a huge plot twist which left a great impression on me.

This story is dark and does

include murder

, making this a hard and tense book. The author made sure that all chapters were connected and there was no unnecessary information. I would recommend this book to anyone who is ready to have their mind blown!
