I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid

4.0

---

One of the most unnerving books I've ever read. Fiction can take you anywhere, anytime, any place. But this story for the most part adheres to an unsettling reality. Things occur that feel very much like they could happen to you. They're just slightly...off. The mystery slowly grows more and more until you're begging for resolution. The book relies heavily on dialogue, and the back and forth between the characters along with the creeping dread makes for a very quick read. Don't take some of the low ratings to mean that you won't like this book. It's worth discovering for yourself.
