2.5

2.5 Reading this book was a bit like a fever dream, both in the speed in which I read it as well as the nature of the material. Written before the pandemic started it encapsulates a lot of the early fear and distress of being home that March of 2022 contained. If you are a fan of thriller and suspense definitely consider it but if not maybe save it for when you need to shake up your genres. The style overall is engaging with small phrases set off provide the reader with insight into the character. Finally I wish there was a flamingo on the cover.
