Content warnings: murder, domestic violence is mentioned in some detail, another one but it's a spoiler. Check the tags on the side if you need to know
Note: If you've seen the drama version, they're completely different stories. Very little about the plot remains the same in the drama adaptation.
I read the published version which differs a bit from the free version a bit, but overall seems to be the same insofar as plot points go. After comparing with Biblio the main difference seems to be in that one plot arch redacted until these spoiler tags work again
This book reads incredibly easily and wastes no time giving you boring set up, jumping straight into the plot from page one.
I thoroughly enjoyed the first 2/3 of the book, but felt the final bit did drag a little. I liked the general untidiness of the story, which possibly is just due to it being a new author, but I found it fun and refreshing. The characters, although few, were fleshed out. The story, while insane, progressed at a decent clip.
Definitely more on the literary junk food side, as Biblio noted, but if you go in with that expectation you will not be disappointed. I would happily read more by this author.
From a language learning perspective this is an easier adult novel. The grammar structures are mostly more simple without much literary flourish and there is a decent amount of repetition. Vocab doesn't stretch much into unusual spaces.
