This book was one of the best I've ever read. I did not see the plot twist that happened at the end and I think that's what makes this book so good. It's probably by far my most favorite thriller.

most insane, nausea-inducing twist ever. had to throw the book away from me because i almost felt guilty for its events. fell right into michaelides's trap

of thinking that a. the narrator was reliable, b. that he genuinely wanted to help and that no abuse of power would possibly take place
