3.0

Meh. 6/10. Super predictable. Was expecting it to be much different and thought it would anchor more on the concept of individuals who have an inability to feel physical pain (as the synopsis indicates). I was expecting something much more sinister in a “psychological thriller” that has a character with the inability to feel pain and was unfortunately let down. Everything in this book regarding the “twist” was predictable to me from about 1/4 way through the book. 

It was an easy enough read and I did enjoy the writing style. But I wouldn’t really recommend to be honest.
