I really wanted to like this book. The cover is cute, the premise intriguing. Something kept me reading it until the end (hence 2 stars). Ultimately I think it lacked a coherent plot, or motivation on the part of the main character, or any depth in what was happening. I’ve wondered if something was lost in translation from Swedish to English.
