This was an enjoyable quick read for me. The narrator gave big Humbert Humbert vibes in the way he spoke about Lana and the others, always setting himself up to be the victim of circumstance only to reveal more devious intentions as the story progressed. He really sleeved me out in the end
talking about how Lana was still with him always and it was a bit devastating to realize the poor woman would never escape him even after both of their deaths
. I was expecting a cliché little thriller and while it did have some familiar tropes it was a refreshing and interesting read.
