I'm not sure about this one. I liked the premise but it didn't pay off super well for me. I was hoping it would have some Julia Armfield vibes, and it did on some level. But ultimately fell short for me. Kinda just because I didn't feel like it was saying anything in particular. Maybe my fault for looking for deeper meaning into something that was just pure vibes.

I also thought this book was going to be hot. it's not hot. It's just kinda.. sexually uncomfortable. 

Super funny to me how much England is painted as such a horrible place (not that I disagree lmao)
I'm sure everywhere seems horrible to a Norwegian lol.
