If you're expecting this one to be your typical thriller about a woman searching for the truth about her missing sister, I can tell you right now this is not that. What it is is a heavy, somber, depressing deep dive into one woman's descent into her own dark thoughts and actions, spurned by the disappearance of her sister and exacerbated by her father's suicide 10 years after the fact. This is a character study of what happens when we let the intrusive thoughts win and shape how we see ourselves and how that colors our inteactions with the world we inhabit day-to-day.
The writing is sharp and propulsive and keeps you engaged from the very first line. So much so that I finished this 374-page novel in one sitting. Highly recommended for fans of weird literary fiction and sad girl drama.
