 I absolutely devoured this book within a day. What a wild ride. I was hooked from the very first pages and kept wanting to read to see what the hell was going to happen next.

Spoiler I do feel the narrative itself started off a lot stronger than it ended, and some phrases and wording felt a bit on the repetitive side as the story continued. But you know what? I can overlook it - this was a fresh idea, a bit of a unreliable narrator during a part of the story (which I always love) and I really like how it all came together.
