while reading i went from “aw it’s not too bad, kinda adorable even. maybe i judged the cover too soon” to “wtf put these bitches in an asylum”. i can’t tell if i just don’t like psycho thrillers or the plot was too ambitious then fell off as other comments suggested. i initially enjoyed it bc the first half reminded me sm of ‘at the end of the road’ (i’ll reread it as a palate cleanser now). after the door sex chapter, i just skimmed through the rest of the story… it stops being scary once u’ve accepted that the narrator is not in danger, but unreliably batshit crazy. still would love to read another work by this artist since their characters are dreamy as hell.
