This book was an enjoyable read. I am not sure if I'll come back to it again anytime soon— it was a quite stressful read. The sort of thing you can't look away from. Like when someone you love just keeps making all the wrong decisions, and you can't change their mind, so you stick by them the best you can.

That might sound like I disliked this book, but I really enjoyed that theming. You really get into the head of someone who seems to be making all the wrong choices, at least, in your eyes as the viewer. It served the narrative greatly to have this be part of the experience.
