Just finished this and can’t recommend it enough. Delightful quick read

This has been a grail of mine since I missed the releasee in 2022, so to find a copy in perfect condition and a more than reasonable price was a dream come true.

Do you have any recommendations similar to these? I’d love to know abt them!

I was reading this book and only 20 or less pages are left to complete it but I genuinely dont even know what I am reading. I mean I highlighted few meaningful words but genuinely I feel like giving up. Same thing happened to me with the metamorphosis by franz kafka I didn't even complete the book half and left it.

I guess this type of philosophical books ain't for me I should have focused on astronomy or human brain anatomy.

What do you say?

Please tell me it gets better!! I’m on page 108, Chapter 18.

It's been a few days since I finished We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer, and I'm not even kidding, every time I forget something, a tiny part of me starts wondering if I'm somehow slipping into another reality. That's just my overactive imagination, but if a book can make you question your own memory days later, I'd say it did its job.

This book is an absolute page-turner. Once l started reading, I couldn't stop. I ended up finishing it in one sitting because I just had to know what was going on. It's creepy in a way that slowly gets under your skin.

One thing I really loved is that the book doesn't explain everything. It leaves enough unanswered that you're still thinking about it long after you've finished. For example, early on, when Jenny refers to Eve as “Emma” I start thinking that what if Jenny was aware of the alternate reality and that is why she runs into the basement trying to find a way out?

Then there's Thomas. The more I thought about him, the more suspicious he became. Paige mentions that she used to be more carefree before Thomas led her toward religion, and that little detail made me wonder if he is the one moulding everyone’s reality around him.

Also, this story actually started as a Reddit post (on r/NoSleep) before Marcus Kliewer turned it into a novel.
