Similarly to Bunny by Mona Awad, which I also rated 5 stars, I couldn't tell if I loved or hated this book upon finishing it. It honestly broke my brain in a way no other book has before. I went into it knowing little to nothing and am new to thrillers, so that might play into my love for this book. however, I really just think that the execution of this book was so masterfully done. From start to finish, I was fully engaged. The short chapters made it fly by and by the end, I was audibly reacting to everything. It was such a unique reading experience and I would pay to experience it again and again. It is extremely depressing and dark, but so so good in my opinion. Check content warnings as always!
