jeg leste høytleseren som sommerleks, og jeg hadde så mange følelser. jeg følte med karakterene, selv etter mange feil. det var flere plot-twists jeg aldri kunne se komme. ble veldig veldig glad i den.

Finished within the same day I picked it up, its short chapters makes it a quick read. It makes you uncomfortable, but overall it's an interesting read.
