I almost DNF'ed this book. I put it down once because it was slow and I wasn't enjoying the brutality. BUT I am so glad I finished. Look, this book is gorey and focuses on serious mental health and how it betrays your mind. Which makes sense seeing as the author has a PhD in Psychology.
Things don't really start piecing together until about 80% through so be patient. This book will have you second guessing yourself, then going back to your first conclusion, then think "naaah it's too easy". Ultimate gaslighting from the author, haha.
So good. Dark academia vibes and not for the faint of heart.
