Unfortunately, I guessed the twist very early on (and I wasn’t a fan of the trope used), but there was otherwise a lot of interesting stuff to unpack here. I loved the voice of it, and I loved out batsh!t crazy it was - what a bonkers premise.

I feel like the concept of this book and the writing itself was very interesting. And I love reading the different ways people interpret the ending and the meaning of the story. From the beginning it had me hooked and I really enjoyed it. I think the book was supposed to end and leave you guessing but I wish it would have wrapped it up a little bit better for me though.
