Unfortunately, when I looked online the only thing I could find out was that the English translation of a novel would be coming out next year with the title Our Share of the Night and I was like, shit this sounds like it’s going to be as dark, bold and impactful as her shor...
I've spent over 18hrs listening to this audiobook and I honestly don't know what to say about it...
