3.5

The secondary characters in the story felt vibrant and complex. Unfortunately, our nameless character felt you did end and left enough introspection to give weight to her plot.
I spent much at the book waiting for a personal revelation or internal breakthrough. But in the end, it seems like I was supposed to buy into her  Lifeless and passionless relationship with a married man
This is the terrible book, but it’s not one that I would recommend. Publishing blurb says that this book reads like a thriller, and I don’t feel that that is true..
The best part of this book was the time we spent with her as a translator. The sessions were really well done.
