This is honestly the perfect length for this story; sometimes I’ll finish a short story and wish there was more, but I think this tied everything up in a succinct way.

The first half of the book was more interesting and engaging, and there were too many strange twists by the end that I wasn’t quite sure what to believe, like the main character, but overall a decent enough story for a sunny afternoon.
