Books about women, written by women and which are translated, always hit differentlyđź‘Ś reflective, feminist and necessary. However, could have been so much shorter

Respectively this book was not for me - yeah was creepy at times but was also repetitive, cliche and forgettable…

Giving three stars because the production of the audiobook was fantastic - probably one of the best audiobook productions! And I really enjoyed the first story! However the next stories did not interest me at all and I found myself losing track of the stories!
Would have loved a whole book on the first story but fleshed out more

Not your classic haunted house story! Fast paced but I feel it did lose track, and i lost interest towards the end
