The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North
4.0
4 stars or maybe around 4.5 stars!!
I'm not going to lie. This book was very hard to read initially. I had read a quarter of it, then gave up on it and then started reading it from the beginning this year, fully determined that I will finish and boy, am I glad I did.
After about 30%, the book picked up speed and after that it took me two days to finish, which is very fast for me. Not only was I impressed with the plot but with the knowledge of the author about politics and the era this book was set in. I previously studied IR and found myself very excited in the midst of global events, made so relatable. I think it's safe to say that this the Forrest Gump of books for me. I'm so glad I finished it!!
