This is a sad and melancholy little book, but quite beautiful.

If she really were what she pretends to be, everything would have been wrong, everything I did and said and tried to get her to see, it would all have been monstrous. But her innocence left her a very long time ago, and she never noticed. She eats only grass, but she has a meat eater’s heart. And she doesn’t know it, and no one has told her. Maybe they don’t care enough about her to take the chance. 

A cold and atmospheric tale. Deceptively quiet, with exciting tension.

Why was this so unsettling? Who is pulling the strings, really?? Who won at the end??? This was really bizarre, I loved it!

mjög hrifin af persónusköpuninni (sérstaklega katri<3) og hversu lúmsk hún var að skipta úr þriðju í fyrstu persónu. ég hélt að ég hefði verið ósátt með endann en ég þurfti bara að sofa á honum og núna finnst mér hann flottur.
fyrsta tove bókin mín en er spennt að lesa þarna sumarbókina hennar í ööööö sumar.

My only problem with this book, is that it does not have a sequel. A comfort book. Beautiful. This book is wayyy better than "the summer book" and "fair play".
