Didn't see that coming

Well written and read. I enjoyed the listen. It stalled, got complicated and just when I was thinking about archiving this one, it picks up and I was determined to finish the book. I'm glad I did. Recommend this one.

it was entertaining pretty good

I liked it but without spoilers felt it we t left a few times. not sure I would have bought it had I known the true subject manner. that being said. narration was very pleasant as you know a narrator can make or break a book

More Please!

Kept me guessing! I loved this book. Interest maintained through out. And man, I did not see that coming!! Awesome!

why house mate?

still trying to understand the role of housemates in the story. narrative is full of triggering scenes.

Absolutely 5/5 stars

That ending was so clever! And the themes and assumptions that this book plays with— also very clever. I totally thought of Reggie as a certain unfortunate soul… but!!!
I do wish that this book did have a bit of trigger warning. So here I will do the honors: abuse, rape, trauma, loss, ocd, mental illness, depression.
