⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5 stars) Not bad, but couldn‘t really connect emotionally with any of the characters. Also was disappointed not to find out more about the miniaturist in the end.

I read this because I read her potty training book earlier this year and it was AMAZING (seriously - if you are approaching potty training, afraid to potty train, have tried to potty train and it‘s going disastrously, go buy her book; you really can potty train a kid in 3 days). It didn‘t give me many lightbulb insights like the first book did, but I do think the information is sound, and recommend it to anyone struggling with toddler behavior

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rereading the trilogy before reading his new book. I haven't read these since high school. For a bit I was worried that I'd be disappointed and find it not as good as I remembered, but the story still stands up to my recollections.

“But vindication has no power over guilt. No amount of anger or rage directed at others can subdue it, because guilt is never about THEM. Guilt is the fear of one‘s own wretchedness. It has nothing to do with other people.”
