It was interesting, easier to follow than "I'm Thinking of Ending Things". It reads like a Black Mirror episode and was pretty engaging, finished it in 2 days.

Very interesting & thought-provoking concept. Unfortunately it has a VERY similiar plot to one of the latest Black Mirror episodes which kinda killed one of the big reveals. Also I pretty much guessed the big twists at the end, I thought the clues were fairly obvious and was expecting something a bit more shocking esp since the author’s 1st novel was *wild*. Great atmosphere and writing tho! Interested to watch the film (not just for paul mescal)

Wow! Never read a book like this. I couldn't put it down but also wanted to launch it across the room. Fantastic writing too.
