Very thought provoking. I worked for a few years on a dementia unit, and this book really hit home. This book makes me think about how living with dementia might seem from their perspective. We'd often see residents suffering from paranoia, and sometimes it was hard to convince them that they were safe. In this book it was still unclear of if they were safe or not.

It also reminds me of The Yellow Wallpaper short story where the narrator is possibly unreliable and the reader is possibly reading about a mental health issue from the perspective of the one going through it.
