I ate this book up! It pulls you in right from the beginning and doesn't let you go until the end while you crave for explanations. It is equal parts thrilling and equal parts reflective. It makes you slow down and think longer about the topics the characters are talking about. It does get a bit confusing towards the end so it needs much more focused reading. This book creates an eerie and uneasy environment. I won't give this 5 stars just because of the ending but the journey made me feel a whole load of emotions and it was quite a ride! It might be the most interesting read I've had this year, definitely recommended!
Graphic: Animal death, Stalking, and Self harm
