I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid

5.0

What an amazing book: literally couldn't put it down once I started. Reid's character building is out of this world amazing, something that becomes even more apparent as you approach the book's final pages. The musings and retrospectives on partnership, solitude, fear, what "being" is made of, etc. were entirely inviting in a way that ends up leaving you isolated in the company of your own fears. Reid constantly raises the stakes of the conversations between the main character and Jake as the unclear dangers set before them become more and more frightening. You might not know you're looking for a metafiction psych-thriller, but you should be.
