Hey so this book could’ve ended with a kiss in the alley!

“I close my eyes and you’re still there. You’re still there and I’m afraid that one of these times, I’ll open them and you’ll be gone. Gone because you don’t seem to care about her like I do.”
I don’t even care that I KNEW she’d be the killer, Felix is my favourite person ever

I’m highkey worried that I don’t have the patience to outlast this book… like it’s interesting and all but I don’t really care about the mystery that much

I can already tell Felix’s betrayal is going to HURT, I love him so much

He’s by far the most non-toxic love interest I’ve ever read! He’s communicating AND he apologised when he hurt Sylvia’s feelings
He’s also making an effort to get to know her deeply even though he doesn’t even know her name.
He’s wonderful
And I like his name, it suits him well

I’m actually really enjoying this book so far. It’s definitely not what I’d usually gravatate towards but I like the atmosphere of the book, it’s almost cosy?
