First five star of 2024! Wow, this book was intense in such a good way. I found myself thinking about this a lot when I wasnt reading it, and got hooked tonight around 40% and couldnt stop until I finished. The story is really well done, even for how much i found myself cringing at the unreliable narrator I was reading the perspective of. I loved the pacing, loved the important themes this tackled, loved a lot of this. The hype around this book was so worth it and I highly reccommend!
