a weird read that will not appeal to everyone, but if you do end up liking it, it’s a masterclass in how to create an unreliable narrator. felt like i got punched in the jaw at certain points where i was confronted with how the MC had strung me along. you are left with little idea of what actually occured, and you have to rely entirely on your own ability to read between his lines.
