Complexly Senseless

A good read with twists and turns

Complexly Senseless is a captivating novel that manages to live up to its title while still being a thoroughly enjoyable read. It’s a story full of twists and turns—some expected, many entirely inexplicable—but it’s precisely that unpredictability that makes it so engaging. Every chapter takes you somewhere you wouldn’t expect & the author uses humour to good effect to poke fun at the bizarre situations that the characters find themselves in, so it’s not too heavy a read.

The characters are wonderfully drawn: eccentric, layered, and occasionally baffling, but always human. Even when their actions defy logic, their emotions ring true. You find yourself caring about them, rooting for them, and occasionally wondering if they’re even real—or just figments of Capri’s warm, shimmering air.

Speaking of Capri, Catt’s descriptions of the island are exquisite. The sunlight, the scent of citrus, the glitter of the sea—all are rendered with such lush detail that you can almost taste the salt on the breeze. The setting becomes a character in its own right, grounding the novel in something vivid and beautiful.

In the end, Complexly Senseless is exactly what its title promises—bewildering, unpredictable, and strangely profound, it makes for an utterly delightful journey.
