4.25

This book did a great job at creating an unreliable narrative that feels indicative of people telling a story of a traumatic incident and the different ways people dealt with it. The characters felt realistic, there were some I loved (Glenn), ones I fucking hated (Sal). Each characters voice is unique and creates a very fun and frightening narrative. I think there are parts that didn’t fit my tastes but overall a fun and great read!
