I loved this book. At first I was confused and frustrated because it focused so much on the narrator which didn’t make sense to me until I got further into the book and realized
he was more important to the story then I initially thought
. The twist left me speechless and I had to reread to really understand. This was one of my first thriller books and I love an
unreliable narrator, I was shocked.
