Not my favorite.
Well, the literary quality was there. Lots of suspenseful elements and twists and turns. But, my level of anxiety was elevated throughout every page of this book and nothing brought it down. That's why it wasn't my favorite. Don't get me wrong, I love a good suspenseful thriller, but holy, moly work up to it! From the second I started reading until the very end, it was hard to catch my breath. If that was what the author was going for, then kudos! If not, then, well, it didn't work.
I will say this: Great job putting it altogether in the end! I didn't feel like there were any missing pieces and even the dog makes out ok!
Psychological Elements
Many different elements were brought into play, such as social isolation, anxiety, depression, suicidality, and psychopathy. You get the sense that the main character is hiding something or that something terrible happened for her to retreat into isolation, but it is not what you think. I did feel a connection to all the characters, even the aggressor. The situation was believable, yet unbelievable.
Anyway, read it yourself and tell me what you think.
