Deep Water by Patricia Highsmith

5.0

Deep Water was a rollercoaster with a steep incline and one hell of a drop! Admittedly, I almost gave up on it a quarter of the way through because the plot builds so, so slowly, but I'm glad I kept going. Can I call Vic an anti-hero? Maybe not because, at any point and time, he could have spoken his mind, left, or stopped living in a self-imposed fantasy-land with Melinda. Yet, she irked me so much so that I was rooting for Vic in a way, along with the rest of the townsfolk. Is that bad? I feel like that's bad. I saw the ending coming a mile away, but can't say I was surprised, only flabbergasted that Melinda thought the outcome would be any different.
