3.0

this book left me feeling uneasy and unfulfilled. this was a very good concept that should have been explored properly..the actual story was creepy but it was the unnecessary tangents that seem to give it the reputation, which it just didn't live up to.  It very much felt like the 5-day fervent dream it says it was. But you know what, it was pretty good for a quick blast of creativity. Just not my thing. In the end, though it did make me want to read more books that explore a toxic relationship better.
