Think The Night Circus x Hunger Games. I started reading it and when I finished it it was suddenly 2AM. Delightfully mysterious and so many twists. If you enjoyed Piranesi you'd like this too.
I tried to read this, I'm just not a play person, perhaps I'll try the audiobook

This book, to me, isn't as good as Tiktok made it out to be but it was still a thoroughly enjoyable read and I absolutely adored the twist.

Graphic: Animal cruelty, Classism
funny
slow-paced
Some of the language that she uses is dated and may be considered problematic, but given she's eighty and an avowed socalist, it feels like it isn't her intention to be like that and she may just not no better. That aside, this book is amazing, it's absolutely hilarious and her anecdotes are spot on
medium-paced
The writing is pretty good. Seeing a different side to things is interesting. It doesn't excuse what happened, but a view into that mind is interesting.
