The Unraveling by Vi Keeland follows Meredith a few years after loosing her husband still grappling with the grief. When she runs into a man who also suffered a tragic loss, she develops an unhealthy relationship with him. She continues to self destructive until it all comes to a head, and nothing is as it seems.
I really enjoyed the absolute inability to truly know what was going on during this read. The MC was absolutely unhinged and since this is a first person pov read; I equally felt as unhinged. Not knowing how or where this story was going was engaging. Meredith's absolute train wreck of choices made me emphasize with her for awhile but after awhile I was annoyed and just wanted her to figure it out. Finally, the plot twist, I still don't know what to think or what exactly I should think!
The only thing I didn't enjoy was the plot seemed to lag in the middle. There was a point where I wanted to know what was going on. I wanted a plot twist earlier than 94% into the book. All in all, I did enjoy this read!
