This book is weird… I don’t really know if I like it but oh well

EVERY PERSON WHO WANTS TO GET MARRIED OR IS DATING NEEDS TO READ THIS BOOK. No other comment.

Here’s my thing - (spoilers)
First they spend 250 pages leading up to a murder that they never described or elaborated on.
Then they spend 300 pages describing how they felt after the murder and how they continued on with regular life. A life consisting of blacking out on drugs and alcohol and then complained about headaches the next day.
Plus when drunk the five of them are interchangeable lovers?! hUH?!

Okay but a murder book with no description of what happened during the murder but every detail about everything unrelated

Dragging just a bit but hopefully they work up the courage to actually put a knife in the turkey

This sad twist okay, but also what the heck were they thinking. Why. Just why would they do that.

What’s so beautiful about this book is the explanation of feelings that I’ve never recognized before. So many moments in this story feel familiar because of the emotions felt.
The feeling that Richard depicted as he stood in the kitchen of the twins home when he was trying to convince himself that he was alright is such an realistic moment of anxiety that I’ve never seen written in literature.

They made the house a fetish that they fell in love with.

It was never about the house. The property meant nothing. It was the memories that they couldn’t seem to relive, the relationships they didn’t have control of when they ended. The lack of control in their own lives.
It wasn’t about medical school, it was about revenge. Revenge of what was taken from them. An effort to hurt those who hurt them.
Their home was the car outside the Dutch house.

Dazzling. I could cry at the beauty of the description, but I’m also at the edge of my seat with the slowly unfolding action.

Insanity. I have no clue what’s happening but I love it!
