The Night House by Jo Nesbø
2.0
(1.5)
This was a disaster.
Okay okay okay... one positive note: There were a few really well written scenes sprinkled throughout the book, but they were few and far between. The book at times feels incredibly outdated with it's fatphobic remarks and it's comments drenched in misogyny. The story itself felt like it had too many ideas thrown together in a bucket and left unfinished before hitting publication. The book is split up into three parts with part one taking up a majority of the book. It felt like part two and part three were set in place to explain and make up for part one, but they were too short and left me rolling my eyes with frustration.
