I actually really liked it! It’s a fast paced read on a universal fear, becoming old and needing help (and if you can even trust those helping you). I love an unreliable narrator and Penny really broke my heart. I just wanted her to be happy and, regardless of what was ACTUALLY happening, it just wasn’t in the cards for her (or the other patients).

this is such an indescribable book. it left me confused and sad but in a good way? the progression of the main character's mental state left me devastated. this was beautiful and sad. i would totally recommend this.
