Wow, what a book! I don't normally make this kind of comparison but honestly? Misery meets Psycho but also totally original. This is a rough read if you've lived through an overbearing, emotionally abusive relationship with a parent. But it deals with the dynamic with a vivid emotional honesty juxtaposed against a disturbingly heightened set of circumstances. Harrowing, difficult, tense and quick. Highly recommended.
