A life laid bare. A captive audience. It’s confession time.
A man reveals details of his life to another, but can he be trusted?
This is a very ambitious novel. Writing in second person is always difficult, and the problem of keeping the reader engaged is magnified with a book written completely in second person perspective. In this regard, the author is successful, and I applaud his accomplishment.
Unfortunately, I expected more from the plot. The development of the main character is solid, and the writing is strong, but I thought the revelations would provide a bigger punch.
If you are looking for an unusual character study, than this is the book for you.

How brave of the author to write an entire book in 2nd person. I’ve only read one other book like that, but it was short, a novella (The Extinct by Xiaole Zhan).

It’s quite an accomplishment, Priscilla. To keep it going for the entire novel and keep the reader’s interest is a difficult thing to manage, and he succeeds.

I get a little uncomfortable when people make novel length confessions about their lives to me.
