There’s nothing I love more than an unreliable narrator and a sort of fall from grace/descent into madness type character development and this book is exactly that.

Arguably I have to admit the entirety of part 3 was my favorite and that sort of back and forth between one persons narrative against the others all the while trying to decide who is telling the truth, who is wrapped up in their own mind or who is just playing a game and to have that happen in this beautifully written back and forth format felt like I was watching a great law show and I couldn’t wait to get the ending.

It’s fascinating to read through someone’s growing obsession and their ability to easily erase or scramble words or body language in order to make it fit with the story they want to be living in while completely ignoring anything that could jeopardize that fantasy, and how the system could, with the right people orchestrating after the fact, make their actions seem completely normal and even romantic to the point that they are the true victim.

This is a great thriller type read and perfect for anyone who enjoys a true crime type book that leans into the psychology of what makes a person act the way that they do, and how that may lead to the creation of a murderer.
