I went into this not knowing what to expect but found it surprising and engrossing. Newman very effectively destabilizes you as the reader in a way that mirrors the shifting realities in the story. Not particularly uplifting but an engaging premise - as soon as I finished, I flipped back to the beginning to read with a more complete understanding.

This is the book that has stayed with me the most out of everything I read last year. The concept is endlessly engaging and continues to fascinate long after the final page.
