I kinda… loved this?? I found the way the book explored morality and the nuances around doing bad things so fascinating, and the fact that the narrator is the hero and the villain in his own story was extremely interesting. The narrator is a truly terrible person but in the most grey area way imaginable and I’m surprised at the fact that I enjoyed reading from his perspective. It was morbid, but definitely worth reading.
