Too long of a beginning and too little plot twist situated only at the end. Also, the plot twist is not super suprising if you're paying extra attention to the writting and if you know the narrator is unreliable.
Graphic: Confinement, Death, Drug use, Gun violence, Infidelity, Mental illness, Forced institutionalization, Suicide attempt, Death of parent, Murder, Schizophrenia/Psychosis , and Gaslighting
