honestly this book was just a wild ride.
to me this meant many hours upon hours slowly making my way through this book and honestly, i still don't fully know what happend. but like i loved it.
obviously this book talks about quite a tragic story but the approach was very facsinating to me.
however i have to say that the way this was written really goes into random details sometimes and that kinda made it a little slow to read for me. this also resulted in me really desperadly wanting to finish this book in the end.
i am, however, also very aware that i read this book in a very busy period of my life which also rewsulted in slower reading. but i personally believe that this is good for a book like "the virgin suicides" and gives the story more dept (that's atleast how i felt about it).
like i already mentioned i personally didn't fully understand what was fully going on (maybe i am dumb, or it's just meant to be like that) but i believe that also makes it worth buying a copy since i can imagine this book being read over and over again, just to get something new out of it every time.
ao all in all i really enjoyed this book and am exited to eventually read this again!
