“What may be a catastrophe for one person is perhaps merely a setback for another, Olga said, prompting yet another of our recurring debates: Should what had happened to us be called a catastrophe, or would Marlice's anastrophe be a more fitting term?”

NO! It’s a… TEXTMERGENCY!

I wasn’t super enthused by the first 2 books in this 7-part series but kept with it thinking that it would get better as it went along. And because they’re short, so it doesn’t feel like a big ask. I liked the 3rd book more and so far I think I’m liking this one more, too. As things get a little more complicated, the intrigue of the series increases. And the author (or the translator) is a very good writer.

My hold on this came available from my library. Even though I’m in the middle of a different book, I’m eager to read this and I thought it would be good for the hotel this weekend when everybody else is asleep, since I can read it on my phone without needing a lamp. I did start it last night but got sleepy quite quickly myself, so I did not get very far into it before zonking out.
