I really liked the premise of this one, it’s terrifying to think about because the things that happen in the book could actually happen in real life. The plot itself is incredibly good. What I didn’t love was the stream of consciousness method of storytelling. To me, it made it hard to follow at times and I kept having to go back and reread parts and the jumps from past to present could be confusing at times too.
