The writing style is what made this book, really was fun, if that’s the right word, to read the different POVs and how the POVs were actually used to tell the story. The earlier twists were ones that I expected but towards the end new twists kept coming! I thought that there would only be one unreliable narrator, Ted, but it turns out every single character was unreliable, and by the end even as Ted is talking about other people I can’t help but wonder if they’re real or another side of him . It made me as a reader start to question what was real and what wasn’t, even til the end, making it a fully immersive experience.
Graphic: Animal death, Body horror, Child abuse
