I found the first half of the book really compelling and intriguing, with the mix of marriage-bureau and saving the snails. (sounds odd but kind-of works!)
I also liked the meta-fiction elements, where the author inserts her own thoughts on the Ukraine war into the storyline.
Later on, it all started to get a bit dis-jointed and I didn‘t think the author quite nailed the ending.
