This was…. Interesting. The first half felt like some kind of grimy fever dream that kept getting more and more bizarre and gross, the second half was closer to a normal-ish(????) thriller.  This book was going for shock factor and it delivered for sure. Did I love it? No, but I didn't hate it. I was expecting a typical stalker/kidnap story and that’s not what this is. It’s some strange mash up of horror and thriller, and not what I was expecting at all. The ending seemed to be open enough to speculate on, but not so open that it left me wishing there were a more closed ending. Definitely an incredibly strange book and I need to go bleach my brain now ❤️❤️
