  • Loveable characters? No

5.0

most insane, nausea-inducing twist ever. had to throw the book away from me because i almost felt guilty for its events. fell right into michaelides's trap
of thinking that a. the narrator was reliable, b. that he genuinely wanted to help and that no abuse of power would possibly take place
