This book was too short to be this slow. As a psychology NERD I wanted to LOVE this. I was so excited. However, It took me forever to finish because I was so bored. It was manotomous, tedious at times, and lacked any excitement.
Even the murder wasn’t exciting?
I think this book has some positive aspects.
I hated the characters but honestly, that’s one of the redeeming qualities of this book in my opinion. I liked that I felt physically repulsed by Todd’s povs (this means he’s a well written character) I love the unreliable narrator aspect. It had some intriguing and even thought-provoking moments. I just wish it had been more exciting. I feel like marketing this as a thriller is false advertisement. The psychological aspect is def there but I wouldn’t call it a “thriller”.
