Dark, but made me think. Author did a good job of making Ansel’s story layered. Despite his “manuscript” being written off in the story by other characters, the questions posed were interesting for me to think about.
I wonder why Lila’s voice was excluded in the last chapter in favor of her daughter, when we got to hear from the other 3 victims directly. I didn’t like that choice.
