A very quick and traumatizing read, to say the least! The book is well-written with the plot slowly untangling itself the closer you get to the end of the book. There's twist (not sure if I'd even call it that) that's pretty good around 85% into the book that's worth waiting for if you're struggling to get through. I 100% found the main character to be psychotic and not gonna lie, it messed with my psyche for a couple of days since it literally feels like you're inside the mind of a psychopath.
If you have any triggers, they're also all probably in this book. I had to skim past some parts because they were definite triggers for me. All in all, tight writing, interesting plot line, and the fact that you are rooting for (but also loathing) the MC will really mess with you. So if you're into that kind of thing, read the book. Give it a shot, if you don't like it, DNF it!
