I had high hopes for this and in the end it kinda let me down if I'm honest.
It wasn't bad per say, just slow at some points and I always expected more but never got it. Overall though I do understand why people like it and it is worth a read.

This book was weird in the best way. The ending creeped me out but after having read the entire book, I couldn’t even be that shocked. The story illuminates how no matter how good we try to be or claim to be, we all do bad things and some of us do more heinous things than others.
