Reviewed by MariaI am really indecisive on the „rating“, it’s probably more a 3.5, as there was much I liked about the way the story unfolded, was told from various perspectives and in different styles. However, I did not get on with the main characters too much (which I guess was sort of the point anyway), but the complexity behind them made me curious (sometimes also annoyed) and it was overall an easy read and I wanted to know what would happen with their relationship.
