A review by ihateprozac
The Breakdown by B.A. Paris
5.0
This is exactly my brand of psychological thriller! I personally struggle with memory issues so this tapped into my worst fear and magnified it tenfold.
Be aware going in that this is a deliberately difficult read. You'll simultaneously feel for the heroine while also feeling like *you're* losing it yourself. It's frustrating and distressing and an absolute mindfuck!
I can't say much more without spoiling it, but PLEASE pick up this book if you like a narrator being forced to question their own sanity. I constantly questioned where the story was headed and I loved every frustrating second of it.
(And if you're looking for a version of [b:The Girl in Kellers Way|34854227|The Girl in Kellers Way|Megan Goldin|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1492132496l/34854227._SY75_.jpg|56092897] but actually good, pick this up instead.)
