I was sucked in and pulled by my own curiosity with every interaction and every session Greta was given to transcribe. The moral ambiguity was so alluring I couldn’t help but finish the book in less than a week. Every character is pretty severely mentally ill and it left me with a bit of an icky feeling, and yet it was so intriguing the whole way through. Every character felt full and multi-dimensional. I loved it!
