i usually do my reviews right after i finish reading a book to get my thoughts out, but i fully had to read a few reddit posts before even getting my thoughts together because i was so fucking confused. it started off slow and was hard to get into but i was so intrigued and the premise sounded good as well. It got really good when things started getting pretty intense and then it kinda flopped again towards the end. i love twisted media like this but i hate when it tries so hard to be an analogy to the point where you are confused but not in a good way. you're just sitting there like "what the hell am i watching" or "what am i reading right now".
i know i sound like i hate this book, but i really don't. it was right up my alley and the writing was so good but i had to think way too hard to read this book. when I read books like these, i want to close the page and be like "holy shit what the hell" and go into deep dives on reddit about it. I did go on reddit, but for a different reason.
I kind of want to re read this? but i also don't. its rare for me to rr so i feel like its not worth wasting my time over but i also know everything about the book now which will allow me to read it with a better understanding and to hopefully rate it higher. im convinced this is a book you have to read twice to be amazed (which should't be the case but ill allow it for this one, we'll see). i just really liked the unreliable narration and can find a deeper appreciation for it by reading it again... but do i really want to?
that was a fun little entry, idk why i sounded very angry in this one but im just so confused on what i feel towards this
also, this was super gay, right?
edit: i take back what i said, if these reddit theories are real then this book was amazing and complex
