A fast and fun read, but perhaps a bit too much happening in the wings for such a short tale. I feel like I’ve not got much closure, particularly when it comes to Britta’s family life which was such a big part of why she is the way that she is.
I know not to expect much depth from a novella but, by being a short story, I think it is reasonable to leave out some of the sub-plots and just get down to the nitty gritty. Otherwise, you end up with a story that’s more surface level than its potential would allow it to be.
