Minor: Suicide
The way we go from the main character caring so much about autonomy to seeing the walls break down between all of the characters. It’s like a mass forming before your eyes. Iain Reid is masterful in his use of subtle language to convey something eerie bubbling under the surface. Is it all in her head or is something really unsettling happening here? I didn’t call that twist!!! That explains the voices I didn’t call that ending :( The pacing of this book is so quick without feeling like it’s hurried. I wondered if we would ever get closure about if her ex really set her up for this home, if we would find out more about the other occupants and how they got here. I liked the love plot between Hilbert and the fmc.netsreadsbooks's review against another edition

I devoured this book! It's the first time, a book has landed on my doorstep and I have started reading it the same day.
It is one of the most baffling, confusing books I've read but that's the beauty of it. The way it's written and the form of the page adds to the jilted, on edge feeling.
I know this will stay with me for a long, long time
