It sounds terrible but I put this book aside for a shorter one before getting to it. By now you probably realise I’m a stickler for the rules. Especially my own. And I’m kinda anally obsessive. Albeit in a nice and vaguely-sane way.

However, I picked up two books earlier this week. The Pool House by Tasmina Perry was being published first but about 150 pages longer than the other book (published 5 days later). So I went with the other book. Mostly because I was really really tired at the time and it felt less overwhelming.

It’s interesting then that when I eventually got to this (two days later) I read the entire 465 pages in a sitting.
