Many thanks to NetGalley and 4th Estate for a digital ARC in exchange for a review.
This was an easy-to-read book which dealt with pretty complex subject matter. The writing was very well done, and the ending was as satisfying as it could be in a story like this. It challenged me on what I would do if I found myself in Ola's situation; we'd all like to think we'd know what the morally correct thing to do would be, but Ola's response is very realistic and understandable. I'm a bit split on whether or not that very last reveal was necessary, but it does recontextualise a lot of what came before it in an interesting way.
