Absolutely preposterous and wildly entertaining. I enjoyed this greatly and thought it held together quite well until the last, oh, 15% of the book. Then it went gloriously off the rails. But what a fun (though ridiculous) ride. I liked the audiobook narrator a lot. Will definitely read/listen to more Sophie Hannah, even though I didn’t think this was as good as Perfect Little Children.
