I couldn’t even get past the first 50 pages. This book is so mediocre, and so obviously written by a man, that I couldn’t believe it was the source material for one of my favourite tv shows. Don’t even waste your time with it.

Killing Eve: Codename Villanelle by Luke Jennings
Honestly this book bored me. The pace was very slow. There’s little action and no real driving points. I found villanelle highly predictable and eve frankly quite boring. The writing was average and if I hear the word ‘dizzying’ again I might explode. It was an okay read but there wasn’t anything particularly exciting about it.
