Unfortunately, the foreword of this book spoils the ENTIRE plot of the book within the first 5 sentences, that could have been done better. I read this book because of an episode of the 'You're Wrong About' podcast. It started slowly but looking back that really reflects the experience of the protagonist and the mystery and gaslighting that is going on. I was very impressed with the book and how eerie it ended up being. Certainly something I would recommend and something I would consider reading with my students.
