3.5/5
It’s short story which you can finish in one sitting, and it’s a bit disturbing…not that much though.
Though, I have to admit I expect WAY worse. Like, especially because of the cover (which is the reason why I wanted read it) and some of the reviews. But it’s not that disturbing, I’ve read worse. It’s more sad than disturbing actually.
It’s quite easy and thrilling to read though. All of the story is said in email or chat form, and is a critique in human mind and mental health.
I think it does a good enough job but I feel like it could have been more.
Especially, some parts which I didn’t get.
Overall, it’s a story of two people chatting which spiral into something worse and disturbing…
Be sure to read the content warnings and it’s a good read (I mean not a GOOD read, like an interesting read ?)
