I cannot stop thinking about this book. I read it two weeks ago and I cannot shake this book, in the best way. 

Disclaimer: this book is not going to be for everyone. However those is is for will be consumed with this story. This is about all I can say without ruining the book. It really is a fantastic book that will stay with you for a while after reading.

De beschrijving "psychologische thriller" doet dit boek tekort. 

Dit is een roman die zo diep in iemands psyche duikt en daarin alle angst, verdriet en spijt uitvist, dat het meer horrorliteratuur is dan wat anders.

Op het einde ontdek je dat het verhaal allesbehalve is wat je dacht dat het is. Tenminste, als je oplet. Dit boek vraagt toch enige aandachtigheid.

Vormelijk is het fragmentarisch, impressionistisch, verwarrend. Voor mij versterkt dat enkel de gesprekken over depressie, eenzaamheid, de vrees/het verlangen gekend te worden, zelfmoordgedachten en angst waar dit boek van uitpuilt. 

Al bij al, een akelig verhaal.

Ik denk dat dit een van mijn nieuwe favorieten is.

Extremely dense read for a novel that’s only about 200 pages. It weaves an intricate, and convincingly dark perspective from a pair of characters who are both, in their own way, thinking of ending things.

Though it is short I feel like I could read it several times and see something new every time

Not entirely sure how to feel. I enjoyed aspects of it but feel I might be too dumb to fully understand everything. Like I think I get it but I don't think I do at the same time.
