This book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. There are so many plot twists that I didn’t see coming, but still felt narratively satisfying. The climax was very high stakes and I think the ending honoured those stakes and didn’t undermine them in their resolution. It explores themes of nihilism and finding your own meaning in life, which I wasn’t expecting going in. 
There is also a scene depicting sexual assault but the book has a content warning at the start saying which chapter it is in.
