challenging dark emotional mysterious

4.5

I love Kate Atkinson, she can do no wrong. This book required some serious concentration to keep up with time jumps and changing POV but I just love the way she writes (and think you’ll either love it or hate it). 

TWs will be spoilers so if you’re not particularly bothered then go in expecting it to have serious detective/crime theme but definitely worth checking if you are!!
