I truly think I’m going to have to read this again to know wtf I just read - what I do know is that “I’m thinking of ending things” is a suspenseful, scary, tense story that had me hooked all the way through. Jake is taking his girlfriend (our narrator) home to meet his parents on their farm, an odd visit followed by a strange drive home. 

This book FLIES. Despite being a fast read, it required paying a lot of attention to follow (or attempt to follow) what’s going on. I still don’t think I actually fully understand every part of it despite my best efforts. 

Highly recommend if you enjoy mindf*ck, tense books that keep you on the edge of your seat.
