I got this book at a second-hand shop with the full intention of reading it and ditching it during a trip abroad. I was hoping for something pithy, engaging, and racy that would be a page-turner but was disappointed. For 90p, I got what I paid for.

The book was pretty boring until the last third. There wasn’t much of a big twist at the end. There were too many characters that didn’t get fully established so I kept forgetting who was who, even in the last couple chapters.
