So I definitely enjoyed this book but it was just soooo long that it took me so long to reach the end. Admittedly I did read this during my exams so I wasn’t reading as much as usual but still. The book is just deceptively shorter than it is because there are just so many words on each page.
I loved the themes and ideas and all the plot twists and unexpectedness . Would definitely recommend.
