This man just made a lot of not-smart decisions. All those decisions gave this guy the ammunition he needed to mess with him. All these characters had issues and I couldn’t sympathise with  any of them. I’m not entirely sure I enjoyed this book, but I like to start what I finish so here we are.

The ending left me a little disappointed. I didn’t mind watching the events unfold on our very unlikeable narcissist main character, but I wasn’t satisfied with what he ended up with. The conflict was good and the twist was nice, but the relationship with his wife was like… ehhh this should have been different.

Wesley and Addy are on the brink of a divorce, kicked out of the house and living in a hotel Wes doesn’t know where to go or how to stay afloat as the money slowly runs out.

He runs into an old acquaintance from high school, Elias who invites him to live at his place while Wes tries to fix his marriage. Throughout the book Elias is an off duck, constantly contradicting himself, ignoring the privacy Wes is craving, and just a plain odd dude.

Is he just an awkward man or is there more happening in the mind of his roommate.

All in all I would say the book was alright, very predictable and I knew how it was going to end about 20% through.

All and all it was a very well written book but it wasn’t as twisty or shocking as things started coming to the end. It could’ve had a lot more of a twist I think and it was just kind of slightly tense but I mostly kept going cuz I was hoping for a big surprise/shock with his roommate that never fully came.
