my review : ✮✮

Oh, Vladimir. Buy this for the cover.

I had moments of appreciation for this book and moments of long, drawn-out eye rolls. I found the writing to be exhausting.

I would classify this as a long, and at times tedious, character study.

In the end… I just did not care about these characters. I think the book was trying too hard. Or, I was trying too hard to be someone who enjoys this book.

I will say, the writing incited such visceral reactions from time to time, and I cannot deny that this author is a talented writer.

Simply put, this may just not be my cup of tea.

Our unnamed protagonist does know how to mix a martini and make a charcuterie board. If I were you, I would skip this book and instead make a martini (I prefer mine very dirty with gin) and enjoy it with gorgeous olives stuffed with creamy blue cheese. You’re not missing anything.
