The premise of the book is great and the author really delivers. Great read. Highly recommended. .

What a bizarre book...
Till 65% it was weird. But I finished it nevertheless.
It was dual POV. And till 65% I wasn't sure how they two related.

I skipped a lot: it was multiple killings, multiple rapes, children abuse.
I don't like this trope at all.
Sometimes it looked childish writing style. Sometimes it was ok...
One star is only for suspense .

Good book, a little choppy but i enjoyed it, especially as a Polish immigrant here in the United States.

Thank you NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the eARC.
It's difficult for me to review this book. On the one hand I enjoyed the book, on the other I found it a bit amateurish and there were parts I skipped. The story takes place in Warsaw and the seaside town of Sopot, Poland in 2 different timelines and features two protagonists: Krystian and Lena. Both have difficult lives with no mothers and controlling fathers. Krystian ends up kicked out by his father, trying to survive as a streetkid. Lena is home from college and her every move is followed by her father; cameras in her rooms, GPS in her car - her wealthy father wants to know every aspect of her life. Fearfully deciding to get a tattoo, she meets an enigmatic young tattooist and falls in love.
There are exciting parts that made me want to keep reading and the eventual end was exciting ... But I was left with a feeling of dissatisfaction that I can't put a finger on. It might be the translation into English didn't do the book justice, but since the setting of Poland was appealing to me, I would read Ms. Wojciak's next book.
