3.0

Reading two sides of the story makes me wonder what is wrong with this couple? It's like reading a police report for both the offender and the victim. You are unsure who is right or wrong because it sounds like both are right and vice versa.

The plot probably seems far-fetched and unrealistic, but I found it brilliant, although I have to be patient with the pace and the draggy part. I'm glad I stuck to the end because I just finished reading an extraordinary story of a fictional sociopath, and I still feel unsettled after I finished it half an hour ago.
