My Darling Dreadful Thing

I don't know what I was expecting when going into this book but I was not expecting to walk away with a new all-time favorite... This book was so beautifully written and so heartbreaking that I actually had to force myself to finish it, because I just didn't want it to end! My heart breaks endlessly for Roos and Agnes and I will forever think about them. The traumas they experienced may have sculpted them into who they were during the book but it would never take away their flames and I just loved that. It has been so long since I have loved a book this much and even longer since a book has made me cry as much as this one, and I am eternally grateful that I got to experience this story. Anything this author writes in the future will be an autobuy and hopefully a favorite, I am anxiously waiting for more!

I found this book entertaining and enjoyable. It is a fairly easy read which uses a popular style of writing. The reader gets glimpses of consequences of the climax via the main character being interviewed by a psychologist in advance of a criminal trial. The plot of the novel is revealed as she tells her story and answers the psychologists questions. Again, it was a good solid book, but was not particularly thought provoking.
