I just closed this late last night and let it settle, or maybe unsettle? I'm not sure this was the best intro to Matt Serafini's work for me. Don't get me wrong, this book is phenomenal, but having never read Serafini before I was ill-prepared for the things this story did to my mind, without even having bought dinner first.

Rebecca Daniels takes unreliable narrator to a new level, and as such the timeline and narrative can be a bit hard to follow. I'm more than willing to chalk that part of the experience up to me not being quite as smart as the story. I found myself doing a but of rereading, and taking time to process. In other words, I didn't fly through this story in the same manner as some other novellas I've thrown myself into in the past few weeks.

Once I got my bearings and figured out just what this guy was doing to me, so like 3 minutes ago, I fell in love with the ending. I don't mean to sound holier-than-thou, but there's something to the way it all wraps up that only a parent could have wrote, and parents will appreciate in a different manner. Tragic, yet peaceful. Despite the confetti-like state my gray matter is currently in, I'm already on the look-out for my next Serafini book.
