Helene Jeppesen's Reviews > Truly Madly Guilty

Going into this book I had no expectations. I knew that it had been nominated for best fiction of 2016 on Goodreads (which is why I bought it), but I did not know the author and I did not know much about the story.
Having now finished it I'm so thrilled that I stumbled across this novel on Goodreads. Already from the very first pages I could sense that these characters were lively and the descriptions on point. At several points I was amazed at the authors' sense of details and how these details really brought the story to life. When I gradually realized that this was a story revolving around a focal point - a fatal day - I was hooked, and even though we are told the big twist towards the middle I was hooked throughout.
This is a story about family, responsibility and guilt and that is all I can really say. It is beautifully written and structured, and it was such a delight to have these characters in my life for a couple of days - characters that I'm most definitely going to miss and reflect back on in the upcoming weeks.
