No. This was not for me.I love me a good unreliable narrator story. Delving into human experiences and seeing things from another's perspective is usually enjoyable for me. With this, I felt I wasted my time reading this.
There were parts I enjoyed and breaking down the toxic thought patterns and processing the raw emotions of our narrator seemed to be the point, but outside of that I gained nothing from this at all like I was hoping. I'm still unsure if Anonymous's point was for readers to invest in a character that fails to change or recongize his wrongdoings or if this is simply a study of human emotions and relationships. Either way, it falls flat for me in those areas.
