Courier by Zoe Rosi
5.0
I received the book by the author. The review is my own honest opinion.
For a short story, it packs one hell of a punch! So much in so little pages, and what a wild ride it was. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about the 'I/you' first and second person writing style, but it honestly made it feel more personal. It put us in the shoes of the 'you' in this story, and made it all the more creepier because of that. Speaking of writing, Zoe's writing style is so solid! I'm going to be after her other books now.
If you've seen or read You, and you enjoyed it, this is kind of in that same realm. You're reading the narrative and thought process of the creepy stalker in this story, much like You, and it's not a fun place to be (which makes it fun to me haha!).
This is a novella I would have read in one sitting, if I wasn't so busy. And now, thanks to this story, I'm side eying those delivery people even more now. I already have those intrusive thoughts about things like this haha! Now they're even worse!
