I read complaints about how the story was presented and the ending, but thinking about it, I like it. It’s pieced together in bits of journal, with a flow of thoughts related to what specifically happened then/ that day. I think it reflects a lot about the narrator’s mental state and adds to the story rather than takes away. Of course there are a MILLION unanswered questions. I like that it’s not a tidy ending at all and a vague reflection of a before time. The work was descriptive and I was able to see/ feel the events as it was described by the author. An impactful piece.

This story was engrossing, the atmosphere was tense and palpable.
Do I recommend? Yes. Will I read again? I'm not sure I can put myself through it again.
