A very quick read, if you're looking for spooky, eerie vibes. It explores a toxic relationship, mental illness, and paranormal/sci-fi like elements. I really enjoyed the writing style being as if you are reading his journal entries. It kept me intrigued and piecing together my own connections throughout. The ending was a bit confusing/lack Lustre to me personally, but I enjoyed this read.

5.0

A fantastic psychological bending story. Being a short read, the aspect of an unreliable narrator changes the tone of the book entirely. It is confusing and difficult to understand at times, but in my opinion that only adds to the subject. I loved it, the writer did exceptionally well.
