This book left me with more questions than answers in a good way… I think? The main character is totally unlikable and the way the author weaves such a feeling of dread throughout is unlike anything else I’ve ever read. Some of the book felt too smart and over my head but I still thoroughly enjoyed every agonizing moment of it. I think the end scene will haunt me for awhile.
