A delight! So funny and weird!

Hands down, one of my favorite books of the year. The characters in this fun, weird story live rent-free in my mind! I literally cannot wait to see Jody Comer to play Flavia in the upcoming show!

Greta's obsession with Flavia reminded me of another much loved book about female obsession called Vladimir by Julia May Jonas. I talk more about these two books on my booktube: https://youtu.be/nYVtlnaPqhg

A little too much sex and kind of disgusting scenes (insects specifically), but otherwise a very nice novel, with an intriguing way to tell the story and getting to know the characters (listening and transcribing to others’ conversations). Every character is very well detailed and it’s easy to follow who’s who. The big reveal at the end made everything make sense.
