weirdly, to anyone that hasn't read this, i do highly recommend listening to it as an audiobook so you don't physically have to force yourself through it, but you get to experience all the absolutely iconic moments.
to people that genuinely liked this, i implore you to branch out into thriller authors.
but okay, hear me out.
it was kind of hilarious?? and lowkey amazing in a fucked up kind of way?? like there were (very brief) moments of, holy shit, hoover kind of cooked here??? mind you, not enough to absolve the book of that dogshit "twist ending", the plot holes and the paperthin characters. but enough to have it taking up an annoying amount of space in my mind. i feel like its a good book to discuss, especially as writers, to see where intention and execution fail to align.
spoilers below VVV
idk, pls (kindly) let me know if you think i'm completely off base
