I don’t think I breathed the entire time I read this book.
Logically I know I did but it was like my body didn’t register it. I was out of breath, heart racing, panicky.
How do you recover from a book like this? The amount of emotion in the pages was something I wasn’t prepared for. A psychological survival thriller isn’t supposed to make me cry my eyes out!
I stayed awake until 2 am reading and then even longer after that because I was so keyed up I couldn’t sleep.
Falling, by the same author, knocked my socks off. But this? This was a work of art. A masterpiece. A tour de force.
