I can't believe I hadn't seen the twist coming. And the significance of the book's title...that was very nice to realize at the end. I had been wondering throughout the whole story what the significance could be and then it comes out of nowhere, and whew.
The book was an enjoyable read overall but I'm kind of over the "mentally ill woman gets gaslit" trope. I also felt there were quite a few loose ends with Mira - did she know about Matthew's split personality disorder? How did her story ultimately end? I wish we had gotten more.
