This book starts out as a well executed, unapologetic examination of a 30ish year old couple, whose lives are stalled, and their unhealthy one-sided relationship with a woman from their past. At about the 170 page mark it slowly becomes something else. The talk of “our lives are occurring in parallel dimensions” and “self actualizations” and that type of circular metaphysical talk actually manifests. At that point, I was reading a totally different book. This is where the book slid into a different genre. Horror. Perhaps Sci-Fi. It was interesting. I wanted to know what would happen to all of these people but man did I not expect those last hundred pages. I can't help but not love the horror/sci-fi genre- it's just not me. I like my fiction to be based in reality, but hey now- this woman write.
