The Alice Network reminded me a lot of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, but more romantic (possibly just because of France lol), it was a period piece, and it followed two incredibly fascinating women, rather than one. The first half was a bit slow, but I definitely was desperate to know what happened to Eve and Rose from the get go. By the second half, I not only couldn’t put it down but found myself grinning a lot and my eyes going wide. The ending could’ve been a bit less predictable tbh :// I loved to hate Eve (like Lisbeth Salander), and found Charlie to be relatable- I love that she found her strength and purpose in the end. My biggest critique- Eve’s chapters should’ve been in first person, too.
