slow-paced

DNF I really wanted to like this book as I was enjoying the plot. But can authors please stop talking about underage girls breasts in detail every other chapter? It's giving S King.

dark mysterious

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

oof

obvi made me feel very icky and parts were hard to listen to. But well written and kept me hooked. i found the main character and her navigation of the world very interesting even if i was having a hard time listening to her experiences 

idk i felt good about the final twist in the moment but now thinking back the resolution after her mom got arrested felt very rushed. but like idk what else would go there so maybe it’s good

side note i guess it’s profitable blah blah blah but i feel a screen adaptation of this would not at all come off with the nuance it had here im surprised a show exists

other side note: great voice actor

Un bon livre surtout grâce à la fin qui est vraiment étonnante mais qui met pas de bonne humeur, les personnages sont pas très originaux mais l'intrigue policière l'est. Pas super bien écrit, un peu long
