I'm Thinking of Ending Things

right off the bat, i have to recommend you go into this book completely cold. i went in knowing nothing about it except that i was pretty sure it was supposed to be creepy – and it delivered on that front. the first 90% was absolutely immaculate in its tension, even during ‘dull' moments i was at the edge of my seat trying to decipher what was going on. at one point you'll think you know – but you don't, really. unfortunately the reveal kind of killed it for me. i just wasn't a fan of the resolution. although it was bizarre enough that i immediately re-read the book (something i don't think i've ever done before) to look for the hints along the way. and there are plenty, if you know what to look for. but the tension is lost once you know the outcome. still, i enjoyed the majority of this SO much that i definitely recommend it and will be thinking of it for a long time. in fact, i'm adding it to my favorites bookshelf, which i never do with non-5-star reads.
