This book infuriated me in the best way possible. Following Teo, a young medical student  that is taking care of his paraplegic mother meets a young woman named Clarice at a barbecue. He becomes so obsessed with the that he abducts her and their journey across Brazil begins.

First of all, Teo is an absolute psychopath. Throughout the entirety of this book, my mind was completely wrecked and I just kept thinking, ‘this man is a psychopath who genuinely thinks what he’s doing is out of the goodness of his heart’ think Joe Goldberg amped up to one hundred. The writing was intense, it kept me on the edge of my seat but it irritated me the entire time and there were points I’m surprised I didn’t toss this book against the wall and scream at the top of my lungs, especially due to the last two chapters of the book. A classic abduction thriller turned on its head, and some parts made me cringe out of pure disgust, but I absolutely loved every second of this incredibly wild ride.

jesus fucking christ. i genuinely hate this book. i definitely see where the author was trying to go with this but it’s just horrible to read. i actually liked YOU and it is just a way worse version of it. and i’m a fan of dark gross books (Sharp Objects is one of my favorites) but the book moves so quickly as if they’re just bullet points. i stopped at the point where he
Spoilermade it so Clarice could no longer walk
Spoiler the whole book is just filled with Teo’s delusions and it’s honestly disgusting and insane which is the point… but it was just not a fun or a good read. i was really trying to hold out for a beautiful line or something meaningful but it just got progressively worse and i honestly would not recommend this to anyone. it is a rly easy book to read though and in the beginning you do get kind of swept up in it but the first chunk of the book is way better than the rest of it.

Spoilerdidn't like the car crash and amnesia plots but i don't have another way of ending the story


my nightmare vacation-airport-plane ride book. freaked me out and felt like I would go into cardiac arrest reading the last fifth of the book. gave me nausea but that might have been because I had too much coffee and was hungry reading the book content. thanks.

it's good to branch out into other genres ya know

MEU RATINHO 😭😭😭
