I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

5.0

this is not a simple story. it’s a one that will resonate with you, like what is happening to me right now. it has been days and i changed my rating from 4.75 to 5 because i really can’t stop thinking about it. i would be having a normal day then get hit with details and scenes. my initial review was “what the fuck was that” and it still stands. 

Iain Reid crafted a well done story and i devoured it. 

i’d like to think the calls she was getting was like a wake up call or a call for help from herself (jake’s self). it’s insane to wrap one’s mind around it. i also wanna talk about how you’d think “i’m thinking of ending things” is about killing oneself but the author was like nah it’s not about that, it’s a simple “i wanna get out of the relationship i’m currently in” but it’s not. it’s crazy how she would list things she liked about jake and what is making her stay in this relation but knowing the end, it felt like jake was listing what he liked about himself to pervert him from doing the act. i really really love this book.
