Highly readable and absorbing. Also I mostly hated it. Lots of bizarre sex and sexualisation, crossed with misery and bodily functions.
I’ll be interested to see how the doctors of book club feel it connects to reality.
Minor bonus points for the unexpected ending. And for the levels of humanity in characters along the way - I truly liked the policemen’s appearances.
