4.5
An incredibly well-written instance of a mystery that is more of a mystery to the protagonist than to the reader, although it is mysterious to the reader, too. I think the unreliable narrator is so good and that it’s written with care and with thrill and it makes me think like it’s a real person telling me her real story.
Graphic: Mental illness, Panic attacks/disorders, Forced institutionalization, and Schizophrenia/Psychosis
Moderate: Ableism, Self harm, and Injury/Injury detail
Minor: Gaslighting
