This book was so good. It’s billed as a thriller and it does have a thriller plot-line. However, what made me love this book was less about the plot and more about how Dong wrote Katrina’s character. Katrina shows elements of OCD as well as potentially some additional mental illnesses. I’m not a psychologist but this felt beautifully done to me. I loved reading her versions of the other world she sees overlaid over what’s around her.
