An unreliable narrator that doesn't clearly differentiate delusions and reality until afterward. I understand why that choice was made but it caused me to read with hesitance

to the point I fully guessed the plot twist well before the reveal

.

The final scenes, however, were almost enough to salvage the whole thing for me.
