A tale of jealousy and obsession. We get a fantastic look at a psychopath’s inner thoughts, his “reasonings” behind why he did what he did (there’s no spoilers, it’s in the summary!). A love affair doomed from the very start.
It’s short but I did tire about halfway through at the slow pacing and was frustrated that the main plot point takes place at the very very end. There’s so much build up which is mostly good but then it ends so abruptly.
