Don't be shy, answer, join the discussion.
This wasn't really on my radar, but I'm a bit curious about it, so it would be nice to see someone's thoughts about it.
It's on my list and I'm hoping I get to it this month to talk about it! but I'm so busy - fingers crossed
Okay I've read the first couple of chapters... That was a genius opening for this character. It really sets him up to be unlikeable and cold which from what I know from the blurb is literally the point of the book. I felt so sorry for that lady but damn he was cold.

But I must say I'm not so eager to pick up this author because of his previous book, The House in the Cerulean Sea.
I will be starting this shortly!

First thought was oh, great another Ove (I DNFed that book), but I'm laughing now as Patricia is complaining about her marital life while he's, probably, trying to fire her.
“My daughter pierced her septum,” Patricia said forlornly. “She looks like a bull. My little girl, wanting a matador to chase her own and stick things in her.”
what 😂 the hell
I finished chapter 3, and I like Mai and how she's so light and chill. But other than that I don't know how I feel about the book, I'm going to read a bit more later and see.
How goes the reading for you guys?
I was meant to start yesterday but then I got sidetracked - hopefully will start today and then update!

I also loved the opening with Patricia and the woes of her life
So i got sucked into this last night and I absolutely love it so far! About 100 pages left Mei and Hugo are amazing!
And (view spoiler)

I finished it and I really enjoyed it!
