5.0

10/10 storyline, plot twists, character development, writing style, setting, suspense, drama and unexpected humor

I can't even think of another book where the main character felt so real and relatable, nor one where the story was so entirely unpredictable, it leaves you speechless.

I'd prepared myself for a casual read, the synopsis sounding engaging enough, but what I'm walking out with is a book that's going straight into my favorites.

There were a few very dark chapters in the second half that almost tempted me to go for the 4 star rating, but that wouldn't do my whole reading experience any justice. This is a literary masterpiece.
