Wow. This book caught me by surprise as I normally don't read sci-fi or psychological horror. The pacing was well done, the way the story was told gripped me immediately, and the ending was satisfying in a way that makes me speechless.
I was reminded of The Things They Carried and 28 Days Later while I read this, so if you like media similar to those then this book is for you.
I'm surprised how much I feel and how little I have to say, another rarity for me. The shorter length was perfect for the story and I honestly wouldn't change anything about this book.

Absolutely mind blowing. I read it in one sitting and sat in silence for the next 20 minutes wrapping my head around it. It defies every expectation I had going into it, and every genre I could place on it.
