Great read! I’ve experienced a ‘Greek Tragedy’ myself, so this book hit a little close to home. However, I appreciated the surprising twists at the end. At first, it angered me. But after reflecting, I think the ending was solid although a bit rushed. The book has a slow start but picks up towards the end of part 2 and beginning of part 3. I would love to connect with the author.
If you liked this book, I recommend Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood - very similar vibe to me!
