I really wish Good reads had half stars. I would give this a 3.5 It's not a horrible story, but not stellar as I had hoped it to be.

Definitely a psychological trip. Just shy of halfway through, I wasn't sure I was going to finish this book. It started off with disjointed dialogue (more on that later--spoilers, ya know). But I kept going--and then I thought I had figured it out, so I kept reading to see if my theory was correct. The suspense of something bad happening is built right away in the story, with different voices having a conversation right after each chapter change.

Okay, so shortly after I decided to keep going, I figured out that someone in the story (most likely Jake) had a mental issue. Most likely bipolar disorder. It was then that I realized that the reason the story had disjointed, stunted dialogue was because of this, and was all foreshadowing. I will admit, that I also figured out that Jake ends up dead. The one suspense the author was able to maintain until the near very end was the identity of the narrator. And had I been paying more attention, I would have picked up on this earlier. Considering we never hear her name.
