I found this one through Jen Campbell's Youtube channel. It was the way she sold it, I think, that made me pick it up. I knew the movie existed, but I have not yet watched it.
I very rarely give out 5 Stars, but then, I very rarely read a book that sinks it's hooks in so deep. Honestly, there is no way to describe this book without getting into the plot, so I'm going to say this: this is the closest I have ever come to reading something that feels like an episode of Black Mirror.
I think I'm fascinated with Isserley. I'm also enjoying the pondering of what genre to throw this in. Oh, well, everything can't be put in a box.

This is going to stick with me for a very long time. Do all of his books leave readers feeling like this?
