4.0

This was such a thought-provoking book, very intimate and beautifully detailed just like the original Dorian Gray. The ending is great and the story progresses, despite being non-chronological in such a strong way. Really wonderful, didn’t impact me as much as I’d hoped if I’d understood the characters a little more.

I’m hesitating between 2,5 and 3 starts, because holy fuck I have a lot of issues with this book. only the epilogue saved this from being a two-star read.
