Mostly read this out of a need for a reliable holiday book. As I have seen the TV show prior to this, I already knew what to expect…. YEARNING.

Reading the dialogue was different to watching the adaptation. The banter between Dexter and Emma sometimes feels a bit too millennial for my taste. Nicholls’ writing occasionally falls into casual-2009-fatphobia sadly, which makes it feel ever more dated.
