An addictive read. I loved the character flaws and how they affected her perception, loved that the book had a clear audience, a "you", loved the repetition, loved the unfolding.

I wanted to enjoy this more than I did..this book is a very slow burn and a somewhat anticlimactic ending

I listened to and read this in tandem. As an audio book I found myself getting bored when I wasn’t also doing something else (folding laundry, cooking, etc). I really got more from this book when I was physically reading it. It gave me more time to digest some of the imagery/poetry.

Some parts of this book felt very repetitive (“she was the one…”) but I think that may have also been the point? Without giving spoilers, the ending wasn’t what I hoped for, but it felt realistic. Your main character is somewhat at peace.

ქალმა გადაწყვიტა 20 წლის მერე თავისი კურსელის მკვლელობა გამოიძიოს, ის თვლის რომ ციხეში შეცდომით ადამიანი ზის.
გამოუვა თუ არა დამნაშავის დასჯა?!

კარგი წიგნია,მაგრამ სხვა ფინალს ვისურვებდი.
სამწუხაროდ რეალში ყველაფერი ისე არ ხდება ტოგორც ფილმრბში.
