Hi what the f*ck did I just read? I liked this, I think. I'm very queasy now.
I think this book would've really benefited from being a longer novel to let more suspense/tension build up, to flesh out the characters and their relationship to each other, and to lengthen the timeline to not make it feel so rushed. If it had been a longer, slower paced book with distinct chapters with more time before sh*t hit the fan, I think it would've had more of an impact.
I know the author wrote this in five days (or at least the first draft), and you can tell. The concept was interesting, the format was neat, and there were a couple of really good moments, but it ultimately fell flat for me. (However, this book definitely gets 5/5 for that cover!)
