I'm Thinking of Ending Things

You will be scared. But you wont know whyIm thinking of ending things. Once this thought arrives, it stays. Its always there. Always. Jake and I have a real connection, a rare and intense attachment. What has it been...a month? Im very attracted to him. Even though he isnt striking, not really. Im going to meet his parents for the first time, at the same time as Im thinking of ending things. Jake once said, Sometimes a thought is closer to truth, to reality, than an action. You can say anything, you can do anything, but you cant fake a thought. And heres what Im thinking: I dont want to be here. Im thinking of ending things. Iain Reid explores the depths of the human psyche, questioning consciousness, free will, the value of relationships, fear, and the limitations of solitude. Reminiscent of Jos Saramagos early work, Michel Fabers cult classic Under the Skin, and Lionel Shrivers We Need to Talk About Kevin, this tense and atmospheric novel will haunt you long after the last page is turned.
