4.0

  • As a non native english speaker, I had too google quite a few words
  • Incredibly delicious, colourful and visceral descriptions
  • The sex was - at times - a bit much for me, but it fit the theme very well and I got used to it
  • Timeless vibes for some reason
  • The protagonist (and writer of the story in form of a memoir) is deadly smart and she knows it well, hence some uncommon turns of phrase, some unusual words, some very pretty poetic writing
  • Feels strangely detached from the happenings of the story, readers will know why. It works.
