1.0

i hated just about every part of this book, and would have dnf’d if it weren’t for a book club. all the “case files” truly read like the reddit creepypasta they were based off of, and not in a good way. i didn’t find the therapist believable or likable, and mostly felt this book did more harm to people with mental disorders than anything else.

This book was just wild and unimaginable, yet predictable? Really didn't enjoy it.

I loved this book. The concept was great and the way it was broken into 6 stories really helped with the pace and I’ve flown through it!

The ending was not what I wanted and it was definitely a twist I didn’t see coming. I will be starting the next Dr Harper book immediately!
