it was entertaining pretty good

I liked it but without spoilers felt it we t left a few times. not sure I would have bought it had I known the true subject manner. that being said. narration was very pleasant as you know a narrator can make or break a book

More Please!

Kept me guessing! I loved this book. Interest maintained through out. And man, I did not see that coming!! Awesome!

why house mate?

still trying to understand the role of housemates in the story. narrative is full of triggering scenes.

Absolutely 5/5 stars

That ending was so clever! And the themes and assumptions that this book plays with— also very clever. I totally thought of Reggie as a certain unfortunate soul… but!!!
I do wish that this book did have a bit of trigger warning. So here I will do the honors: abuse, rape, trauma, loss, ocd, mental illness, depression.

what a study in grief!

worthwhile to hear but what a study in grief and pain and the idea that not everything is fixable. not what you expect, though.

So Good!

I never caught on and usually do! Toward the end, I thought there was a character that really didn’t belong. I thought it was filled. I was so wrong!
Great read!

head spinning

the last few chapters were confusing. it was like an entirely different story until one sentence tied it all together, but had to really think about that one sentence to understand.

Loved it

Great story, great narration! Didn't see where it was heading until the end. Thought it was all out there til the twist! Loved it!

Didn't see that coming

Well written and read. I enjoyed the listen. It stalled, got complicated and just when I was thinking about archiving this one, it picks up and I was determined to finish the book. I'm glad I did. Recommend this one.

suspenseful but terrible ending

I couldn't wait to get to the end because it was so suspenseful and interesting. But then the ending absolutely made no sense and didn't tie to the story at all. I was so mad that I wasted my time.
