Super fun quick read ! Finished it in a few hours. Despite being morally grey, Maud (the mc) is very likable and you end up rooting for her or condoning her choices/actions. She’s a badass old lady who wants to peacefully live out the rest of her life completely unbothered. Easy to follow, casual read that’s split up into a set of short stories. Love the cover art so much !
