I don’t mind ambiguous endings where you have to sort through what you think happened, but there were a lot of questions. I also didn’t like the ending bc I prefer more of a sense of justice for the bad guy. It made a lot of the story seem superfluous with that outcome. I’m being vague so I don’t spoil it.
Honestly, it was like flushing a bunch of different things down the toilet, it looks interesting to see them all swirling, swirling together, but at the end it was a mixed mess. Narration was great and the author was very aware of parallels to other stories. I laughed out loud at one point when he called himself out with an “I know what you did last summer” reference bc I had been thinking it had that vibe for a bit.
