Well the title for sure fits this story to a T. I love Joe Arden’s narration, it really brings Aero to life. He’s one of my favorite narrators and this performance is an example why. This book though was SO long. I feel like it could have been half as long as it was. I loved the danger and the tension between Aero and Briony. The spice was glorious. Be aware there is explicit descriptions of child SA and religion related abuse, so if that triggers you, you may not want to read this. I read this because there was so much hype on social media. It was good, but I don’t get the obsession to be honest.
