I had a better review but goodreads ate it :(:(:(
But it boils down to this - what did I just read? Can I trust anything? Am I even me??
Brilliantly done book that will seriously mess with your mind.

Me gustó mucho este libro! Al principio tuvo problemas para engancharme, pero conforme fui avanzando me intrigaba más la historia. Es muy atrapante, más que todo porque no sabes quiénes son los buenos y quiénes los malos, ni quienes dicen la verdad ni quienes mienten. El final me dejó con la boca abierta, no me esperaba el giro que dio la historia, lo recomiendo mucho.

WHAT DID I JUST READ?? I need to go back and read it again... and again. I want everyone I know to read this book just so I can ask them what on Earth they think happened! An impressive book, I must say. The middle dropped a little for me and felt like a bunch of “filler scenes” but then the twists started happening and I want to go back over the middle looking for clues! But having said that... the whole book is a lie.
If you want a book that will seriously mess with your head and make you doubt everything whilst also making you think about it constantly after you’ve finished, read this book.

Wat een super heftig boek! Dit boek is niet iets wat je zomaar 'even' tussendoor leest, het is een boek waar je focus ook echt bij het verhaal moet liggen. Het is een boek vol puzzels en mysterie maar ook een boek wat emotioneel tot je kan spreken. Misschien zie je de plottwists al van verre aankomen, maar toch blijf je lezen en wil je meer weten want HOE DAN!? Het is een geniaal boek en op het einde moet het boek je even bezinken. Dit boek is geen typische YA, maar het hoort er zeker wel bij!

How do you review a fever dream? Or - to be more specific - a book that embodies a whole bowling alley of curveballs?
Went into this expecting a normal murder mystery (?) About a boy with anxiety. Then it went off the rails. And any of the criticisms i was planning ended up being justified by the end.
I'm confused. I dont know what i believe. I finished this in one sitting. My brain itches and im off to try and decipher the coded phrases in each of the 3 main parts and then go to bed.

More 3.5 stars than 4, but it was good and enjoyable, lots of twists and turns. I didn’t find them as shocking as some other reviewers did but I found them clever nonetheless. I marked this down because I didn’t like the lazy descriptions of non-white characters.

This was quite ambitious and I don't think it succeeded in every point of it.
The twist was not extraordinary - maybe for some even predictable.
This novel is not perfect.
But I still loved it.
And sometimes that's just how it is. Sometimes a story just feels perfect, even when it objectively isn't.
