Like previous Valérie Perrin books I read, Tatà starts off strongly, certainly aided by the intriguing premise, the interesting characters, and the author’s captivating style. By the end though, there are just a few too many plot lines and twists that feel like pure shock value, and the story gets too convoluted. I still enjoyed reading it, but couldn’t help feeling annoyed by this (just as I had felt reading Three). Shame, because this could have been a truly fantastic book if only it had ended slightly earlier and hadn’t tried to tackle every theme under the sun in one novel.
