- Loveable characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
This is being sold as a "revenge thriller." It's not. It's a revenge mystery where the reader understands the entire mystery very shortly into the book. There are no big reveals or twists, and absolutely nothing thrilling.
I thought it might be thrilling because it started strong when he bought the knife at the gas station, but then it's never an issue again.
The final page of the book attempts a "twist" or "gotcha" moment (which I called toward the beginning of the book) and it kinda soured the entire reading experience for me.
Do not under any circumstances read this novel if you have any triggers regarding mental illness and suicide. This was an extremely difficult read.

Very good read. Read it in about a day. I loved the complexity and complications of the characters. Some things were predictable (which isn’t necessarily bad) and yet you still get a twist up to the last pages
