Sumár recenzie
Recenzia na knihu sleduje príbeh s nevšednou tematikou, ktorý sa odohráva v originálnom prostredí a s nápaditými postavami. Recenzent vyzdvihuje zachytenie emocionálnej stránky príbehu a pôsobivý spôsob, ako autorka preniest napätie na čitateľa. Súčasne zdieľa pozitívnu skúsenosť z čítania, avšak uvádza aj niekoľko negatívnych aspektov, ako by som mohla očakávať "ironické odvrátenie od klasickej lásky". Celkovo sa jedná o "chytrú a dobre napísanú knihu", ktorú odporúča fanúšikom tohto žánru.
