Tin Man by Sarah Winman
3.0
3.5 ⭐⭐⭐✨
I must admit I'm conflicted with this one. Maybe I took too long to finish it, or maybe it was the pace that threw me off, but I wasn't really "in" the story without being completely "out" either.
The writing was too fast-paced for my liking; a lot of things happen in a few paragraphs and it's easy to get mixed up since the timeline of the story is scattered here and there depending on the author's mood.
As for the characters, I liked them but didn't have the time to grow attached.
The main "plot twist" happening right in the middle of the book frustrated me and didn't make me want to read the second half, since the outcome was already revealed. However, I did like the main idea and how the author managed to talk about sensitive subjects without depending on shock value to share a message.
I guess the style of the novel just wasn't for me.
