5.0
Okay so Iain Reid is now one of my fave authors after reading this book "We Spread" and "I'm thinking of ending things."
I read We Spread in less than 24 hours, any moment I had free I would pick up the book. I loved the short chapters. The story is a slow burn, the dread increasing with every chapter. The ending is ambiguous, which for me tend to be a miss more often that not but i think this might be my my favourite "open to interpretation" ending of all time, I think it's brilliant. This book is thought provoking and sad, and had me feeling all kinds of emotions.
Read this if you like: psychological horror, slow burns, unreliable narrators,slow chapters, ambiguous endings, thought provoking stories, fear of aging.
