To be honest i did struggle with this book. It has four different POV and I kept having to go back to remember who and what.. that maybe just me though..

That said it is a twisty and drama filled story that is well written with a brilliant plotline.

I loved it

This was everything that I was hoping for from the description. The mystery element worked well in telling this story and was hooked from the first page. The characters felt like they were meant to be there and enjoyed the way Martta Kaukwrote this.

Wow. Okay so this isn’t an easy read as it’s 4 different points of view so it can get a little tricky in places as the writing style is very different however you do get used to it.

I thought this was an incredible twisty, mystery book. I didn’t expect the ending and just thought the whole book was great! Can’t wait for the second one

This translated Finnish book is written in short, punchy chapters from four points of view. It's the story of a disturbed woman who seeks out a therapist with the intention of having someone who will vouch that she's unhinged if she's ever caught, ensuring that she doesn't get a prison sentence but instead goes to a psychiatric unit.

The mix of narrators and the direct address to the reader worked well. The twists were well plotted and also worked but weren't especially mind-blowing.
I liked the pace of the book but for a book about a psychologist it felt psychologically clumsy and the character motivations and traits were oblique at times. I don't know if this was down to the translation but the dialogue occasionally felt clumsy and unrealistic. I often felt like I was reading something that had been written rather than it having any sense of reality. Occasionally the language also felt odd with archaic words like 'hullabaloo' that are rarely used.

It's an oddity in terms of style and firm but didn't quite work for me
