You Know What You Did by K.T. Nguyen
3.0
this book was interesting. i disliked pretty much all of the characters, esp annie. she was so self-absorbed, & focused on her own issues that i could not find it in me to feel compassionate for her.
i also felt like the ending was completely rushed, & that the ultimate villain was rather disappointing. i almost wish it had been more an exploration into mental illness, since so much of the book circled on annie’s rituals to cope with OCD, so i would have liked a different ending that really pushed how the human mind works.
i also felt like overall pacing was off with all the flashbacks and time skips; everything felt very disjointed. but perhaps that was the point; to feel as jumbled and timeless as annie.
i did enjoy the discussion about mental health & the fact that annie’s illness was not her biggest perpetrator. i think it was a decent novel, & would read something from this author again.
