I went into this book completely blind to what it was and based on title I was thinking it was going to be rather dark, and while some of the subject matter was bleak this was honestly a super fun little read. If you’re looking for horror maybe this isn’t exactly it but I found myself taken by this vigilante therapist and his escapades. 

It was silly, it was camp, it was ridiculous, I could definitely see why this is not the story for everyone but if you’re strictly a horror reader (like myself) and you want a little break in between books that make you feel bad/sad, this was surprisingly light hearted while still being gripping at points. 

I will definitely pick up the other two the next time I’m looking for a quick, ridiculous read.

What in God’s name did I just read.

I know it’s fiction but by god, I don’t think I’ve read a book like this that is such a car-crash of a book. It’s so far fetched, so confusing, and just downright weird how the book is presented and laid out. It’s hard to follow and at times doesn’t even make sense.

As someone whose studied psychology, I usually let a lot of misconceptions slide about psychology and therapy and how it all works, but I was in pain reading this - i understand it’s supposed to be a quick, short, dark read but it was just so outrageously incorrect, so bad that I just couldn’t believe what I was reading. 

The only reason it even got a rating from me because it make me laugh so hard due to it being so far fetched and unreal that I could do nothing but laugh at it.

1 hour 9 minutes - This book was very strange and not at all what I was expecting. I didn't dislike it - I would go as far as to say that I was intrigued by the stories and the way the often intertwove, but I was also incredibly confused and this did impact my enjoyment of the book. I'm not sure how I feel about it from an objective standpoint - it does make a trivialisation and a borderline mockery of mental illness at times. However, I really did like the characters of Elliott and Noah.
