2,5 rounded up to 3.

This book was a waste of my time. I wish I had spent this time on something else.

This was sold to me as a psychological thriller, but there is no thriller, or at best it's underwhelming. The build-up to the final conflict is 300 pages out of the 330, and the conflict in the end is kind of... nothing.

The topic of a strained and estranged mother/daughter relationship was what finally did it for me and made me pick up this book.

The other 300 pages were her "introspection", very literally - she is obsessed with her inner thoughts and her feelings. I got nothing about the other characters, such as her mother. They remain as thin as they are in the daughter's memories and thoughts.

This is a novel and the character writte kind of like an unreliable narrator, but the hints at the true nature of things are few and far between. 99% of the book is focused on the narrator being special and nobody understands her and she is so mistreated and the things she are correct and warranted.

Just boring and pointless.

Side note: why do audiobook narrators make zero effort to pronounce names and words in the original language? ZERO.
