The basics of this book are very unlike my usual reads with an elderly polish narrator hellbent on astrology. But I loved being in her mind, her righteous world view and passion. The sudden ending switch took me by surprise but I also don’t really try to predict endings when I read anyway. Loved the setting, the added characters, the sprinkling of academic tangents. Definitely a breath of fresh air after fifty shades.

Fiction Written Like NonFiction

In my IG stories from few nights back, I said — It happened again; while I usually read 2 physical books, not at the same of course, daily @amazonkindle deals have definitely made it harder for me to control my mood reading.

Only few people know that I’m a mood reader; I pick a book with the intention of finishing it ASAP until another book comes, usually a couple of days after.
