Hi ha una cosa que em molesta d'aquests llibres, i és que a l'inici comencen a haver-hi un munt de personatges que ningú et presenta, i sempre he d'acabar tornant enrere, a veure qui era qui. I si hi afegim que hi ha molts personatges amb noms semblants, fa que l'inici d'aquests llibres sempre sigui una mica lent i pesat. També ho fa el que les "escenes" siguin molt curtes, i per tant, llegeixes dues pàgines d'un personatge nou, i 20 pàgines més endavant ja no recordes qui era.

És clar que això dels capítols curts fa que el llibre sigui ràpid de llegir, i que no perdis mai l'interés, perquè sempre et té amb l'ai al cor.

Però quan aconsegueixes saber qui és qui, llavors el llibre està bé. M'ha agradat el protagonisme d'en Gösta en aquest llibre. En els altres llibres era un personatge una mica insuls, i aquí ha agafat un protagonisme que me l'ha fet veure d'una altra manera.

La història potser és una mica més fluixeta que en altres llibres, però en general es llegeix bé.

**trigger warning - possible transphobia**

Idk how to feel after reading this book. I read this incredibly fast, since the writing was very easy to follow and the book was certainly a nice one for relaxing.

*Minor spoiler*
Buuuuttt, i have a huge issue with a character. Throughout the book they keep talking about a man named Ove. From beginning to end, they call this character Ove and him/his. But when Erica meets with Ove, we find out that she uses female pronouns with herself, makeup and literally everyone calls her Liza. This is clearly a trans women... The main character doesn't call her liza, doesn't use female pronouns, doesn't change a thing. Then Liza said "my husband only calls me Ove when he is mad"... Wtf? Is this just a drag situation? Didn't seem so, since everyone in her circle used the name Liza everyday...

So Camilla... Im sorry, but either this character is badly written, or you were INCREDIBLY transphobic in your book.

I gave this 3 stars purely for the sake of maybe it was just a badly written character. Maybe
