This feels like the zenith piece of the split-POV 'In a Bamboo Grove' shit that Ryūnosuke Akutagawa first pulled. And it really shows how well and horrific such an effective framing device goes to tell a story.

One of the wildest rides I’ve ever been on. Just when you think you’ve got it figured out, the author throws another curveball. I was floored for about 95% of this book. The writing style takes a bit to get used to at first, but once you get into it, it’s not as jarring. At the outset of reading this, my main takeaway is who really was the “bad guy” in this story. I’m not sure, are you?

This book is the definition of "an eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind." 

Absolutely incredible revenge story that hooks you at the very start.

It's taught me perception vs perspective are to different things to always take into account of someone.

Highly recommend!
