got recommended this for the twist, it definitely delivered. was dying to know what happened the entire time. really love the snippets we get about alicia’s art. some of the longer psychoanalysis bits weren’t super engaging and there’s some predictable genre fuckery abt mental illness but overall v good whodunit thriller
