omg what the fuk was that??? so good. want to start reading crime thrillers? pick this up rn. an absolute page turner.
edit - got too excited after finishing the book. the plot twist at the end for undoubtedly good, but the author seemed to have introduced too many weird and creepy side characters in the beginning for no other purpose except to have more pages. I thought they would all have a purpose later but they didn't. also the narrator was supposed to be a pshychotherapist but he goes around asking questions like a detective. that didn't make much sense.
