However - the fatphobia in this is horrendous and obscene. I would actively warn fat people against reading it and I'm appalled it got past the editor. They should be ashamed - we should all be ashamed - that something so vile was allowed to be published in 2018 (!). And, not to the same extent as the fatphobia, but some of the characterisation is pretty misogynistic.

It may just be even in the end I didn't find the main characters likeable.

I was especially intrigue by the author's ingenious use of a unique, first-person narrative and meta-narrative. It had both both a science fiction feel and a psychological thrill without compromising the best character qualities of the MC.
The only reason it's not a perfect 5: I would have liked some of the details to be more meticulous. Some things that seemed important up-front ended up a tad slap-dash in the end. It got a little rushed at the end. And the final explanation was not terribly well-supported or as well-developed as so many other aspects of the story. I absolutely recommend it, though, if for nothing else than novelty's sake
