I want to give this book 5 stars so bad, but because of one line I can't.
'third day of forgetting meds' seemed unnecessary and forced to give it a negative mental health connotation that a lot of horror uses and really puts a lot of bad stereotypes about mental health in the minds of the general public. It would have been just as good without it
But otherwise, I read this, albeit short, book in one sitting without stopping, couldn't put it down.
The whole quote of "protagonist doesn't mean good guy just who the story is about" playing out but with Sawyer's perspective making you how people always see themselves as the hero, no matter how hard they have to twist it.
