Glad I stuck with this because man I hated Jack at the beginning. Good thing I remembered that I found the recommendation on a thread about unreliable narrators in horror. The formatting of the edition is unhinged though: there are full chapter previews for other novels before the final chapter of the book. So I wouldn’t have read the entire thing if I didn’t have a habit of staying for the cutscene I guess

This was a very clever story. Without any spoilers - The good is how well the author wraps everything back in on itself and weaves the story together. The bad, if you read a story about a narcissist written in first person, you have to put up with a narcissistic narrator.
