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.

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!

5.0

Honestly, this is way more than a 5 star for me. I don’t remember exactly where I heard about this title but it’s been on my Amazon wishlist for months. Finally, I caved and read it on KU. I read this entire book in under 4 hours and not once did I understand where it was going. There are so many twists and turns and it’s so confusing. But the author is amazing at making it an enjoyable journey.

MUST READ! I was interested just because of the title. I couldn’t put it down. It’s only 150 pages. I have ADHD. So to finish this in 2 days is a big deal. WOW!

A very interesting set of short stories; that link together. More on the darker side this book has an interesting narrative that is easy to read.

Super easy to read and get through. I've always been a fan of r/nosleep so I'm not sure why Dr. Harper flew over my radar. Regardless, I enjoyed reading this! Not a perfect book by any measure, but it was a fun romp through misadventures.
