What a shame, I thought I’d like this one:/ The beginning got me hooked; I was so into the mysterious and twisted setting in which the MC somehow traps herself in her own self-projected guilt, in addition to there being an element of external supervision and judgement of which she has no control over. (Has anyone watched Solo Leveling? The opening in that one got similar vibes).

However, I lost all interest once the mystery boiled down to 3 normal, boring people having beef with each other. Lydia, get over yourself. I got the impression that this is a story that will be gone from my head in not that long.


On another note, let’s talk thriller audiobooks. I’ve never read a thriller with my own two eyeballs, and I think I’ll keep it that way. Audiobook format is just superior. Yes, give me those shivers down my spine while I’m out in public. Freak me out while I’m doing dishes. Keep me on edge of paranoia while I’m showering.

Well, none of the stuff I’m listening to is ever THAT creepy, but I like a little kick of twisted eerieness in my daily and (thankfully) generally peaceful and safe life. I just wish it was easier to filter out the good ones!
