4.0

This audiobook was positively suprising. The writing was engaging throughout with some dark themes portrayed by both Sigrid and Margit's characters. I was a bit confused during the first chapters as it was quite repetitive and I couldn't understand what the point of the letters were. The ending of the book tied all the lose ends together. Eventhough the protagonist's were pretty negative, the second half of the book had a positive twist, and I related to a lot of their thoughts and feelings.
