If I could give this book 6 stars, I would. Even though I figured out both plot twists, it didn’t affect the rate at which I devoured this one! If you’re looking for a different take on a psychological thriller, you found the right book. Can’t wait to read more from this author (or...rapper?)!

This author loves a simile. In fact, I found a lot of the writing choices a little repetitive. The plot had me for a bit - there were definitely moments when I was holding my breath, desperate to find out what in the world was going on - but it's hold on me did dwindle by the end of the novel. It's definitely a creative, ambitious, and unique sorry, but I don't know if it'll linger in my memory for too long.

the best way to describe it is like fight club but with no fighting till the end

Weird and mindblowing. Still not sure about the end of the book. I'm puzzled.

Supermarket was a page-turner like no other novel I have read before. I liked how it hooked you from the first wild chapter, then explained everything. I liked how it left little clues throughout the entire story that tied together in the end. I liked how descriptive Bobby was. Truly enjoyable and fascinating -- hope to read more of Bobby's work soon.

Atrocious. Clearly written by a high-schooler who has watched (and half-read) Fight Club too many times and thought "I can totally do that, bro!"

It's clichéd, predictable and eye-rollingly bad. It was recommended to me as a hate-read and it's too bad even for that. Easily one of the worst books I've ever read.
