What in God’s name did I just read.
I know it’s fiction but by god, I don’t think I’ve read a book like this that is such a car-crash of a book. It’s so far fetched, so confusing, and just downright weird how the book is presented and laid out. It’s hard to follow and at times doesn’t even make sense.
As someone whose studied psychology, I usually let a lot of misconceptions slide about psychology and therapy and how it all works, but I was in pain reading this - i understand it’s supposed to be a quick, short, dark read but it was just so outrageously incorrect, so bad that I just couldn’t believe what I was reading.
The only reason it even got a rating from me because it make me laugh so hard due to it being so far fetched and unreal that I could do nothing but laugh at it.
