i first thought it was about suicide upon reading the title, but i thought “oh that’s too cliche”, i should have trusted my instinct. i’m still reeling. did i just get gaslighted by a book?

Wow. I read this after having watched the movie a long time ago (and really loving it!). Knowing beforehand, in broad lines, what this story was about makes me appreciate the plot and narration style even more!
I found myself relating to a lot of concepts in this book, and it still really unsettled me. The end also still impacted me quite a bit as well, even though I already experienced it before in a way.

Trippy! This feels like a shroom-induced writing lol. I got the creeps, in a good way.
For the first half it rambles on what I recognize as some known philosophical ideas. It's very smart. I like these types of conversations between characters. It's thrown here and there, all over the place, but I liked its overall ambiguity.
I'm Thinking Of Ending Things won't be for everyone. I see why people would feel divided about this novel. Either you like it OR you don't. I'm glad I lean more towards the former.
I enjoyed this more than watching the Netflix movie adaptation. I think it's become even better/interesting by listening to it in audiobook.

Quería ver la película y por casualidad me enteré que había libro. Creo que menos mal lo leí antes, estoy muy intrigada de cómo lograron llevar la historia a la película porque la novela es todo lo que piensa un personaje en su cabeza que, como dice el título, está pensando en terminar una relación. Hay unos pocos diálogos con otros personajes que se van cruzando, pero estamos todo el rato en la cabeza de la protagonista. Es entretenida la novela, hay cosas que no calzan, pero claro al final se entiende todo (y mejor no saber nada antes).
