A review by lilla_moehle

2.0

I brought it along as a holiday read, but despite several rainy days perfect for reading, I still haven't finished it. From the start, I found the main character unrelatable and obnoxious. Nevertheless, I tried to stick with the book. However, I could not help it feeling like a chore. After a 20-page description of a non-consequential squash game, I decided to try my luck with a local bookstore instead. The bookstore we found in Funchal had a small section of novels in English, so this one ended up being shelved.
