Reviews with content warning for Mental illness - I'm Thinking of Ending Things

This book was eerie, the ending was very confusing. I found myself discovering the theme of this book, but the ending was not what I expected at all. Many parts of the book felt unfinished, but made more sense once you got to the ending. Could have been delivered better, especially the ending.

It had a bit of a slow start to me -which made me think I’d dislike this book-, but once it actually started to get a little creepy my interest piqued greatly and I wanted to read the book all the way through. The book greatly unnerved me and gave me that underlying sense of anxiety, which I guess is a good thing to do if you’re a horror book. It actually made me kind of scared at certain points, which -for me- is uncommon in horror books, even if I think they’re really good. It was the kind of feeling where I planned to watch something funny after I finished the book before I went to bed. I never knew where the book was headed. It was kind of confusing, but not in the sense of. I didn’t understand what was going on. I just had no idea where it would lead.
