Found this quite hard to get into for the first half. The

plot twist was interesting, but didn’t go as far as I expected, perhaps because it was quite early on

. I found the protagonists slightly two-dimensional, but still a solid read. I also enjoyed reading about women’s issues that I have not yet seen represented in literature.
