This book did exactly what I wanted it to do: it gave me some easy, enjoyable reading while preparing for my exams – something to look forward to while spending all day, every day in my beloved university library:)
I found Emily's very matter-of-fact and straightforward way of being/writing diary entries, quite entertaining, especially when paired with Bambelby.
(Bambelby was basically a walking red flag, haha. Anger issues✅️ Superficial charm✅️ Vanity✅️ Carelesness✅️)
As you might have noticed, I read (listened to) the Swedish version of the book😁
Considering Heather Fawcett's light-minded approach to the Nordics (Norway, Iceland, same, same🙃), I didn't exactly feel obliged to stick to the original😏 ...Ok, I'm actually just kidding. I listened to the Swedish audiobook because I wanted to read the book NOW, and the English audiobook on Libby had a line, while the Swedish one was available through one of my apps;)
The perks of being Scandinavian!😎 (aka three languages for the price of one😏)
I didn't really mind her frivolous use of the Nordics for her imagined island. I interpreted it as a fantasy version of Iceland. Strangely enough, there were lots of mentions of forests, which is... odd. Has she ever been to Iceland?😅
This book wasn't mind-blowing or extraordinary, but it was fun:)
