Yes this was slow paced but I really appreciate the dark and atmospheric setting Phoebe Wynne did with this story. Love reading about with unlikable characters and they are definitely unlikable ones here. You think you're reading about one thing but completely thrown a curve ball and discover so many hidden themes and meaning thrown in.
