I like character motivated stories only when the characters are even a slightly bit likeable 

The beginning was slow but I ended up really enjoying this one. Felt kinda like a fever dream.

Not sure how to rate this book- the premise was so interesting “a transcribers listens to therapy sessions and becomes obsessed with one client then meets them in real life”. But I’m just not sure I ever felt like I was rooting for any characters or even liked any of them for that matter. Did I like this book? Meh.
