I loved this book. It found it like an adult “choose your own adventure” with some really dark themes about what it means to be human.

Despite reading other reviews, I found My Annihilation to be an extremely interesting written noir. I enjoyed how everything came together as you got further into the book and picked up on earlier themes which help you realize the different perspectives and how perverse the main character is. You get a semi-deep dive into a person psychology and they try to psychoanalysis themselves, and have you as the reader, rethinking everything you have just read, but you soon realize that is the whole point.
