This was such a unique book and I flew through it. It’s a very introspective action-less psychological thriller and I don’t think it will be for everyone because of that. I was enthralled by the slow unfolding of L.’s manipulation and the writing style of the author. It was very meta as well and played a lot with the idea of truth/reality versus fiction, which was interesting especially you wonder how much of the book itself is real. I would recommend it if you enjoy character studies and introspection with a bit of unsettling tension driving it all forward.
