You was such an incredibly intriguing read, and I’ve not really come across anything like it before. It was almost predictable with each of the key outcomes, but the way we got to each was so enticing.
Joe’s level of obsession was terrifying, but for me the most terrifying aspect was how he perceived everything as so incredibly normal. It was honestly quite disturbing at times to think just how easily something like this could happen.
I knew elements of the plot from watching some of the TV series but never finished it so it was still a nail-biting read. It was a little too long and dragged a touch at times which is why I knocked some points off, but overall very gripping.
