Too similar to “The Last Mrs. Parrish” (which I much preferred and which was released first) to the point that I'm tempted to say it very much looks like a case of plagiarism. The twist is easy and very clear from the very beginning (especially if you read “The Last Mrs. Parrish”, but even if you didn't it's pretty clear). I didn't see the following twists coming, but still very disappointing.

This book was a little boring. The problem is that it's a mixture of non-fiction (facts about Denmark) and a novel (the story of a journalist moving to Denmark for a year), but none of the two is good enough. Facts and statistics are outdated (despite the “recent studies show” lines without any date indication) and the novel itself doesn't have any conflict or interesting plot, you can't emotionally connect with the main character (and her husband - whose name remains unknown: she calls him “Lego Man” and that in itself was, well... cringy.
