I loved this book. The first 50 pages were slow and i didn’t think that i would like it, but after that i was completely engrossed in the plot and the characters. Although all the characters are horrible human beings i couldn’t help but feel invested in them. It is quite a long slow-paced book but i loved every second of it.
