An interesting thing about this book is that at the end of each chapter the main character switches from talking in the present tense to the past tense. Saying final words like “and that was the last I ever saw of her” or “and that was my first mistake”.

Genuinely wondering where this book will end off! (minus the romance, I know what’s going to happen there.)
