I’m feeling a little indecisive about this one. So maybe a 3.5? 
I liked the writing style very much, and felt myself pulled to continue reading all the way through. I enjoyed the unreliable narrator aspect, and from the beginning I was trying to guess where this would lead. I didn’t really see the ending coming, but maybe I should have. My main complaint on this book is that it’s a little slow. For a lot of the book you’re waiting for something, anything to happen and it all does in the last 20-30 pages, so a lot of waiting. However, I never felt the need to give up on the book or skip through parts so I suppose the writing speaks for itself. And because of that I will probably check out this author again.
