"The point is facing the unknown and accepting that it's still unknown."
A girl suffering from night terrors finds a poster of a missing person hanging on her door only to find that it's a photo of herself. She's never seen this photo before and it appears sinister, its eyes always following her. Suddenly, a chain of strange events occur causing her to question her sanity.
Wow. I had no idea what I was expecting when I started this, but what a mindfuck! The horror elements and the psychological aspects intertwined so well. It felt like a fever dream as I couldn't tell what was real and what wasn't.
The story was beautifully written and touched on mental health very well. The anxiety and depression, the grief and turmoil, how fragile our minds can be. It was haunting, unique, and exquisite. Kabbani did an amazing job handling this book with such grace.
What would you abandon for happiness?
