This was fascinating. I was initially confused, but as the situation got clearer, I started feeling illuminated.  However, it got harder and harder for me to feel compassion for the protagonist as the story unfolded and especially after the big reveal. But I also realize that the author is writing about real people fictionally based on her expertise as a former psychologist. That jarred me a little - to think that the whole story actually has happened to multiple people, that this is all natural to the darker forces of human nature, and that at any point in my life, with any unfair twist of fate, something I could’ve undergone a similar darkness. The self-reflection in itself was a point of mental and emotional freedom for me. Ask that said, I hated the twist.
