Really not my cup of tea. I felt like the entire time the author was trying to show off how smart he was, but ended up just being incredibly heavyhanded with all the troupes and themes throughout the novel. An exercise in "show, not tell". This dumbass therapist decided to just TELL everything, but without the fun of having an obviously unreliable narrator.
I think I would have been happier if the book didn't have the "twist" at the end.
I had to read this for a book club and I am going to sit and be polite and try my best to be normal when we talk about this book because good god.
