This was... amazing. I feel like this is what more subtle romance & family dramas like Sense & Sensibility, Pride & Prejudice and Wuthering Heights are supposed to be like. Compared to really bold and frightening dystopic novels like The Handmaid's Tale and The Year of the Flood, this might seem a little too slow at first, but this story really gripped and rocked me. I think the twists were well done, in that I wasn't surprised (I rarely am), but I just figured out what was going on right before the twists were revealed, so it was satisfying without being too like "I knewwww that already, boring!"
I'm reading Q&A right now by Vikas Swarup. It's so different from the movie, I'm kind of surprised. I really like it though. I'm not sure which I prefer yet since I'm only a quarter into it. This one is a lot grittier, which I like. I really enjoy the writing. It has a simple honesty too it.
