Wild and silly. Felt a bit fast and loose in the second half. I had a good time though.

The whole exploitation of someone's mental illness turned me off to the book. What was a great book full od twists and turns ruined itself with a trashy ending.

Started off interesting, but the ending fell flat. I love a good unreliable narrator, but this was too much. Many triggering topics that were not well addressed.
