I liked how you almost forget that Theo is reflecting back on an account. It almost seems we’re seeing a present through Theo and past through Alicia, but it’s all in the past. I liked that because when Theo recounting his wife’s affair eventually collides with Alicia’s story, there is a satisfactory whiplash.I get that there is an unreliable narrator. I understand that everything Theo says is a reflection of himself.

it’s his narcism that he’d want to go fix what he broke so completely and think he wouldn’t face consequencesGraphic: Torture, Gun violence, Infidelity, Death, Mental illness, Murder, and Toxic relationship
