Distancia de rescate by Samanta Schweblin
3.0

So this was a quick read and a weird one. I am excited to dive into some of the more spooky reads in Spanish, but this was an interesting start. I enjoyed the style in which it was written - it really had you guessing what was going to happen next and whether or not the narrator was reliable. I get why it's called "Fever Dream" in English, because that's exactly what the story feels like. The way it makes you feel as you read it has all the makings of a good thriller, but I couldn't help feeling like I wanted more of a resolution at the end.
