Lullaby by Leïla Slimani

3.0

I've been meaning to read this since its publication and finally had a chance to finish it. Personally, I like crime and mystery novels but this one was really different to the crime novels I normally read. The tone was more descriptive than flowing, which did not bother at all until the midway of the book. Having read the story that this is based on, I tried to fill in the gaps I had. Even though it was very well written, I had problems with the plot line at times because it started talking about all these other characters for pages. Also, it stayed true to the inspired events that occurred in New York.
