This was recommended to me as horror, but I did not find it to be so. I kept waiting for something to happen, but nothing really does. It’s OK as an accounting of “the horror” of life as someone nearly paralyzed. But I kept thinking there was going to be more to it. Maybe if I didn’t have expectations, I wouldn’t have felt so disappointed.
mysterious reflective tense

having ableism be the main driving force behind a ~thriller~ is really not it.
Plot or Character Driven: A mix

I am; confused.
I barely felt a thing but discomfort and disgust listening to this audiobook. And I guess that makes sense for the genre but I just don't get it. Not sure how else to phrase that.

I kept waiting for the “thrilling” part to start and before I knew it the book ended.
