5.0

it's so fast paced so it's perfect for me to read (ADHD) and help me to get out of my reading SLUMP! Thanks to Storygraphs streak thingy too hahaha. 

You would love this book if you love films/visual media . It's because each chapter is so short and is written in a way like scenes in a film. Which make sense later on, when I realise the author works in British TV production haha. Book is easy to digest and my god - SO MANY TWISTS. So in love with Osman's writing! 

5/5 for me because I have a soft spot for elderly and been fascinated by any sort of crime growing up. So this was perfect for me. I always like to think what I'll become as an elderly and I look forward to it. And this book really showed me that! It's funny, witty, but also heart warming and made me cry. I love the characters so much too. This books also talks about death. And with my current health condition with chronic illness at a young age, this book is oddly comforting. 

This book is like a warm blanket that comforted me in this difficult time.
