Thank you so much @HoughtonMifflinHarcourt, @NetGalley & @BookishFirst for giving me this eARC & physical ARC in exchange for my honest and unbiased review (Release Date | 07 July 2020)

SYNOPSIS | Parker starts a new job at an under-funded psychiatric hospital and soon finds that there is one potentially dangerous patient who has lived there for over 20 years & has a track record of driving others to madness. He documents his story in a reddit style message board.

WHAT I LIKED:
- I loved the chatty "reddit" style of narration
- I started reading this expecting it to be a medical thriller but it turned into a horror
- it packs a punch in under 250 pages

WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE:
- the horror twist was a bit predictable
