Gerald's Game by Stephen King
4.0

I really had no idea what to expect going into this book and I only added it to my TBR list this month because the movie is coming out on Netflix later, we just had a solar eclipse here, and I was interested to see how it tied to the story of Dolores Claiborne. I found myself quickly entrenched in the story and I felt as trapped as Jessie, the main character. Whether reading about her current predicament or some of the stuff that happened to her as a child, I found myself cringing with disgust, pity, and horror. The ending really added some goosebumps because there is also a mixture of psycho-horror, voices in the head, and potential schizophrenia. So throughout the book you are questioning, just as she is, what is real and what isn't. And what do you want to remember and what do you wish you could forget? A thrilling read!
