WOW, the varying perspectives in this were equally horrifying and disturbingly fascinating. The storytelling in this was very unique. Overall 3.75 ⭐️ read for this dark thriller.

Everyone is damaged and nobody is a saint here. It feels like you’re going in circles over and over because each chapter has a different person telling their point of view about the same incident but each time it reveals something deeper and darker and truly horrific.

✨ Reread ✨

I found this book on my old bookshelf and knew I had to reread it 😂

I am giving it a slightly lower rating than last time, as I found the translations clumsy, but I still loved reading it all the same. I also completely forgot what happened at the end last time, but I knew I found it compelling to read (hence the reread).

The bomb going off made me audibly gasp! 😳

4 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨
