Damn this book was really a psychological thriller and really pulls on your heart strings and really gives you a mirror to view yourself along the journey.
It's a pretty fast an intense read and things are really paced. If I can describe its like a mass of dark shadow on a white convass. You see them twist and reshape as you go along the book but everytime you try to guess ahead or you have a trope you think its going to follow it reforms to something else entirely....
The shape in the end however is although unexpected and unfortunate as any accumulution of tragedies are even the ending still isn't clear what the final form will be exactly,leaving one to guess
I really enjoyed this book and if you ever had your heartbroken by infidelity it really kinda brings those feelings back that dread and paralysis. I really felt that heartbreak and that malicious type of action and heartlessness of the one committing the offense. And it's really well drawn out here and you can connect with one of the characters. Although in a way karma is a bitch to start with and it just seems there is a lot of perception in what happens in the beginning to what happens in the end for both characters. This was awesome to say the least.
