3.5

I’m not going to sit here and claim to have fully understood this story, but it definitely made me feel. The writing was powerful and peeled away at the concrete plot to dive deep into each character’s psyche. Listening to this book, I felt used, manipulated, and jumbled; I  physically squirmed at times. This is a story of sexual assault, power imbalance, trauma, and memory reconstruction that is truly dizzying. It’s hard to say where the truth starts and ends and how many characters there really are and who is who. If you are going to set out to read this book, read it with a friend so you can discuss.
