Must be the most unrelatable MC I have ever read. Took a strange turn.
Also strange is that this is the 2nd book in a row I just finished where the author dated the writing of the book and where it was written at the end. Just finished Misery by Stephen King which also has the date and place. Fairly certain I have never seen it before now.
