 Nogal repetitief en saai tbh, ik zou het ook nooit beschrijven aan iemand als horror of een thriller.
Ik heb iemand nodig om dit boek te ontleden...

I liked it! A lot. I wanted to punch Terrence in the face aLOT! Haha😅 I really enjoyed the story. It WAS a tad predictable but kept my interest the whole way through for sure. It was good!
I may just be a little harder on this because I loved I’ve Been Thinking Of Ending Things so much. 😅 I really did like it though.

Um... wow. Wow. HAH!

I'm Thinking Of Ending Things quickly became one of my favourite books of all time after reading it cover to cover in only a few hours. So, needless to say, I went into Foe with rather high expectations.
I will say, I felt slightly disappointed thinking I had this one all figured out and that it wasn't giving me what I'm Thinking of Ending Things was... that is, until the last 20 or so pages.
My mind was blown all over the place. I'm so sorry I doubted Iain Reid for even a moment.
What a wild ride; the most fun I've had while reading a book in a very long time!
Can't wait for the next one!
