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.

Unfortunatley a bit disappointing. Once again I really liked the writing style and this unsettling feeling throughout, but the plot and the characters just didn't really convince me.

Wow!!! I read this after I'm Thinking of Ending Things and it was another great mystery. The 2 main twists at the end were a little bit predictable, but I didn't see the last one coming, weirdly, and it was really the icing on the cake that wrapped up the whole story. Loved it!
