The over the top descriptions were a strange addition but I rather enjoyed them.
Looking forward to next months book.

Perfect for when I can’t sleep 🙂

I don’t like ambiguity, I need to know so it was good for me.
Not my usual type of book so thanks for the recommendation x

If I recall correctly I wasn’t too happy with the ending but I now can’t remember why.
