Excellent book, much better than I expected from reading the blurb. Each chapter keeps you hooked! There are constant twists and turns, I think the author left one part of the plot purposely easy to work out but the rest was completely unpredictable. Upon reflection, the ending was subtly eluded to in such a clever and unsuspected way! My only quarm, leaving this book at 4 stars, is that I found a lot of the descriptions repetitive, IE (not a direct quote) "I drank it in, I stood drinking in the view" etc. Still an excellent book!
Content Warnings
Moderate: Alcoholism, Death, Infertility, Misogyny, Sexism, Sexual assault, Suicidal thoughts, Blood, Murder, and Alcohol
Minor: Grief and Gaslighting
Sexism/misogyny is only portrayed by one character and is telling more of how some people of a certain mindset would act in the book's circumstances. Infertility/IFV is mentioned twice. Sexual assault is attempted but never written in exact words, the character says "I knew what would have happened" so goes into no depth. Suicidal thoughts occur in one scene but the word suicide is not mentioned in that context
