Insomnia

Ian Rankin is quoted(1) as describing this book as “A gaslighting masterclass”, and I couldn't agree more!

Some reviewers have stated that the book starts slowly, and it can feel that way, but if you've ever had to deal with a family like Emma's, and the onset of insomnia, Sarah plays it out absolutely superb.

There are aspects of the story telling that frustrate me, but I'm unsure if it's my frustration with the characters (bloody hell men are the worst) or the way the lack of communication is written. I did find myself irritated at times, and not just at the characters.

All in all, a fantastic read, and highly recommended.

Footnotes

1. First edition paperback, rear cover

I really did not enjoy this at all. I could not get on board with the writing style, hated the characters, and the plot twist was not great. This book was so slow and the ending was not worth my time. The only reason I finished it and didn't DNF was I heard the ending was good, but I should have DNF'd.
