I'm Thinking of Ending Things
[Posted 20 November 2024]
I’m Thinking of Ending Things is a psychological thriller novel about a woman on a road trip with her boyfriend to visit his family in the country whilst she grapples with doubts about their relationship interspersed with other strange dialogues. A book that I advise knowing as little about as possible before going into for the sake of a better experience as I already knew something about what was happening due to having seen discussion of the film adaptation (which I still want to see at some point). This book rekindled my love of reading non-audiobooks even though the execution of the ending fell a little flat for me. It has an enthralling air to it that ropes you into the situation with compelling prose that gnaws on your sense of suspicion. I was repeatedly taken by the phrasing and what it revealed about the character’s psychology. This book is also significantly better than the other book I’ve read by this author (though I didn’t despise it) and I suggest it for anyone who doesn’t already know what happens in it.
