Writing 3.5/5
Story 3/5
Narration 4/5

The tone and environment of the novel was dark and tense and parts of it were wonderfully crafted. I never connected as much with the characters and didn't follow the plot well. I know the narrator was unreliable intentionally but it made the book difficult to enjoy.
