I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid
5.0
*If you're looking for mind fuckery and and self reflection on life this ones for you*
this an attempt to make my mind cohesive and this is just me rambling.
first of all WTF??
second of all..... felt like a personal slap or punch...…..now my nose is bleeding.
This book made uncomfortable from the start and hella suspicious cause who in the right mind would have talked about aging and death and dark matter to a two week old girlfriend??
When I said it felt like a personal slap I said it cause I have a lot of problems with day dreaming and creating scenarios where I would incorporate things that I see, people who I have crush on and my aspirations which change constantly... and sometimes I don't take work pressures/ environment well and end up fleeing from the that place which caused me anxiety...much like Jake when he left the lab job cause of the environment.
at first the story was suspicious but at the end it made me feel sad, and felt a heartache which I completely resonate with, and that I completed it at the night didn't help in my sleep.
this story depicts living in solitude can be dangerous. its hauntingly true. sometimes I fear this could happen to me and I pray to god it never does...
I read as a book with words and not as a audio book so the words in the book made me insanely uncomfortable, at times I didn't want to continue but want to continue does that make any sense ?
mad props Mr. Reid.

PS: the daydreaming and fiction scenarios often I imagine are me as a second character people I'm with describe me....shit Mr. Reid you read my mind ??
